Hi, my name is Alan and I am fundraising to raise climate change awareness in Ireland.
Now more than ever, it is imperative that we understand the impact our actions have on the environment. To do this, we need to become self-aware of our daily choices. These include the food we eat, the way we travel and the volume of goods we consume (to name just a few). I believe that we can all make relatively minor changes in our daily lives that can have hugely positive impacts on the environment around us.
