Participating in international competitions is a great chance for us to apply what we have learnt into reality practices and even more to contribute to creating a better world through communication. This is why we have decided to join this year's Young Stars AD competition with the challenge to educate global youth about the concept of carbon neutrality.
Receiving a new and complex idea to understand, we have tested different approaches to find a more consumer-friendly language for carbon neutrality - the fact that all carbon emissions are either minimized or compensated with decarbonating activities to reach actual net zero. This is when we figured out that even if wealthy countries transition to cleaner practices, the global atmosphere remains toxic with CO2 from poorer nations. In other words, we will never be free from carbon harm unless all other carbon hotspots across the globe are tackled. Hence, our idea is “WE ALL BREATHE THE SAME AIR” - a call to support underdeveloped and developing countries to reduce their carbon emissions.
Every action counts. This is the most meaningful lesson we have learned after joining this year’s competition about carbon neutrality. Everyone can contribute their part to a greener globe and we hope through communication we can spread this message to youths all over the world.
