It can be very frustrating when you’re so passionate about caring for the environment but you feel alone in your efforts. If you live with others and you find their habits frustrating because you know they are contributing to climate change rather than working to prevent it, you’ll want to know how to convince others to care for the environment. Even if you cannot convince them to care as much as you do, at least it will be more than they currently do.
- For people’s birthdays or for any festivities, buy them gifts that are eco-friendly. You could give them plastic-free alternatives to things you know they use. For example, if they like to go to cafes, you can get them a reusable flask they could get filled instead of a single use cup. You could create an eco-friendly gift hamper including a variety of things. You could even put a bamboo toothbrush in it. To buy a Bamboo Toothbrush UK, visit bambooth.com.
- You can recommend documentaries that educate about climate change. David Attenborough’s ‘Our Planet’ series on Netflix is a must-watch for all and is moving enough to insight change within people who didn’t care about the planet before.
- You can invite them to a protest, meeting or event about climate change.
- You could encourage them to help you with the allotment if you have one, or to help with the gardening. You may even help encourage them to start a green hobby of their own.
