Grassroots campaigns have proven instrumental in bringing about political, social or environmental change; you've got to start somewhere-might as well start here.
Help the Dying Mother
Hello sir, I have grown up in a very small village in the HinduKush range of Pakistan where all we have got is nature and we are totally dependant on it for our food and living. The imagination of love in that region is related to that of a mother who is always there for a kid no matter what the situation are, and this is why nature is also called mother nature. Over the years, climate change and environmental degradation has ruined our lives and we have faced serious catastrophies including floods, melting of glaciers and what not. This is how our mother is sick now. Imagine the situation. It is not a metaphor. It is as real as it can get. People are dying because they have shifted to artificial products and thousands of people are diagnosed with cancer each year in such a small region because the whole diet cycle has changed for people. They cannot plow their fields any more in fear of what the climate crisis do to them and the self-sufficiency of the region is gone.

Speak Up
The issues recently in the world have been about climate change and the effects of it have been horrendous. I have a strong belief in producing a greener world, but while the world is fast-paced and growing, we need to catch up with the damages that have been done for years and we need to focus more on how to fix the damage we have done.

No One Cares
Does it bother you? I’ll tell you right now, it doesn’t really bother me much. I don’t think twice very often. I scroll past articles titled WARNING: ICE CAPS MELTING and RESOURCES LIMITED: TIME TO CHANGE without pause because what am I supposed to do about it, really? and then stop to appreciate a two-minute video of a social media influencer caught doing something ridiculous in public to get that perfect product-sponsored post, all the while I’m filling the bathtub to its brim for the third time that week (and it’s only Wednesday, don’t @ me).

It's Time We Grow Up & Stand Up
The planet is dying. There are just no if's, and's or but's about it. I could go on and on about drought, wildfire, polar melting, but you already know all that. The next person you see, they know too. Same with the person after that and the person after that. Your lover knows. Your boss knows. Your best friend knows, and so does his Mom. Heck, your dog probably knows. Even those who deny how close we are to unstoppable oblivion realize there is harm in our current global expansionist lifestyle; those who mock Greta often mock the air quality in China as well.

Dear rich people
The world is going to melt or freeze or drown soon. Sorry if that's a surprise but I somehow doubt it. Some of you are making an effort but most of its a token one at best. Rather then trading carbon emissions and setting your forests on fire while blaming others do it yourself. Rather then big headlining ideas look for small and build up to the bigger picture. You need to change a few laws, bring in some new and above all make sure they are obeyed. You might upset a few of your friends but they can manage.

Dear Mr. President...
Dear Mr. President, Although I do not enjoy using this title for you, Donald, it is important to do so; after all, you did win the race for this job you sought after. As President of our country, you're role is to not only act as a chief executive of the federal government and Commander in Chief, but it is also to help great progression and change. To care. Over your reign as leader for the United States you've flaunted your wealth and power for the world to see. Can you not use use your influence to lead efforts to preserve the world around us?

Dear Mr. Trump, The Next Generation of Ocean Guardians Has Arrived
Dear Mr. Trump, You have proven during the tyrannical reign of your stolen presidency two things: your absolute and utter disregard for all living things and your complete psychological ineptitude, as a human being, and as a leader.

Mother Nature
||: Unfiltered Views As a human race, we lack passion and purpose. Something that we can't find searching on Google. Although the environmental activists and many others who we've seen on the news and social media outlets, represents the missing passion that we lack. Using their voice for something they believe in and worth fighting for.

Dear Leaders
You were born to lead. So lead. You were not born to be a slave to corporate greed and its ripping claws. Do not be intimidated by it, for you are not a slave. You needn't be afraid of losing power, of not being elected anew. We, the billions will stand by you when the going gets tough, as long as you act like the true leaders you are, and not as slaves.
