Well, the way I see it, the first step of saving the environment should be an efficient educational system, so that people would understand the effects of their various acts better and could decide more easily what is the best option in different situations. Furthermore, I believe it would be essential to get everyone, especially young ones, involved in enjoying the nature and make them love it, because living environmental friendly will always require sacrefices and no one would make any sacrefices for something they don't even love. But what would you do to keep yourself safe during extreme weather eg a drought, flooding?
