| Abstract | The purpose of this project is to understand the correlation between young Canadian teenagers’ call-to-action and mindsets towards environmental issues and how to solve it. By analyzing the minds of young individuals, this project provides insight into trends of generational engagement regarding the environment, and why people might refuse compromises within their lifestyles which contribute to climate change. |
