#SDG13: Actually, concerning climate change, most people refer to themselves as climate activists.

1) Tree plantation is a rhythm for all activists I've met.

But I'm confused...

In the next few decades, the population of the world might increase, right?

As population increases, call for shelter also increases and CO2 emission also increases

Meaning, Houses will limit the plantation of trees, households' carbon footprint also increases and then CO2 emission in the atmosphere will be greater than now.

To me,

Tree plantation is not a preventive measure for climate change rather it's a temporary solution to climate change.

2) The campaign is the second and last rhythm of activists

You join a group with the purpose to make the government make changes

How are your carbon footprints?

Did you still use gas cookers or kerosene for cooking?
Did you still fuel and power your generator with gasoline?

Let the CHANGE we want begins with YOU.

To be sincere,

The campaigns will get to a level where the government will see it as a normal country's customs.

Again,

Have we forgotten the major source of income of the country?

Isn't it petroleum?

Funny Government, they even organize an event for climate issues�

Yet, still, extract petroleum for sales and usage.

To be sincere,

Can we forfeit the recession for climate change?

As we all know, Number of cars in the country is numerous and they are also a major source of CO2 emission,

To be candid,

Let's forget about cars for now and let's all be on a bicycle

That's a change an activist should also look out for and encourage others.

For the cooking aspects, let's divert to BIOFUEL usage, it produces zero carbon and it is readily manufactured in Nigeria meaning it is cheap to buy and use.

For the generator aspects, let's divert to solar products as we all know it is natural, renewable and readily available.

Solar products base on the chart by @solarenergyintl showed that the price has continued to fall favorably since 2011 because of an increase in manufacturers list and also wants for solar products.

So what's your next step as an activist?
