Individuals play a crucial role in addressing climate change. While systemic changes and policies are more than essential, individual actions can collectively create significant impacts that add up to a larger movement towards sustainability. In this photo series, I would like to showcase various good practices that individuals and communities are adopting to combat climate change. The following images are an excerpt of a series of triptychs – each sounding a different good practice towards a more sustainable life, from the use of ecological agriculture and reducing food waste to recycling and eco-conscious holidays.
With the people I photographed we hope to inspire others to make more conscious choices in their daily activities, take action, and incorporate sustainable practices into their own lives.
