Environmental citizen and stakeholder

Being raised in the city, I was always sheltered off from the reality of environmental issues. In a city- like environment it is always much more difficult to express environmental concerns because most individuals lack information or are unable to recognize their impact on the earth. Therefore, as an environmental stakeholder I find it is my responsibility to spread awareness to individuals about environmental issues, especially those who are in my current environment. In other words, I find the need to express my concerns and awareness to those individuals who do not have much knowledge when it comes to environmental issues. I find it essential for me to express my concerns to family, friends, and peers who are not fully aware of what is occurring. Besides spreading awareness and information, it is my responsibility to introduce new sustainable methods of living to those who are in my environment as well. Also, as a stakeholder I need to also continue informing myself and changing my lifestyle in a way that encourages a more sustainable way of living. Lastly, I find it important for me to continue volunteering and encourage myself work hands on in my environment. By this I mean, I need to continue physically working in my environment in order to bring about some form of change. Knowledge is simply not enough, one needs to fully immerse themselves in an experience in order to truly learn and develop a habit, passion, and sense of awareness.
