End extreme poverty. Fight inequality and injustice. Fix climate change. Whoa. The Sustainable Development Goals are important, world-changing objectives that will require cooperation among governments, international organizations and world leaders. It seems impossible that the average person can make an impact. Should you just give up?

No! Change starts with you. Seriously. Every human on earth—even the most indifferent, laziest person among us—is part of the solution. Fortunately, there are some super easy things we can adopt into our routines that, if we all do it, will make a big difference.

Have a look at just a few of the many things you can do to make an impact!

This is a model for you to take into account:

The destruction of rainforests is one of the most important environmental problems of our time. How can this problem be solved? To replace the trees that are cut down, new trees can be planted around the world. There are many things individuals can do to help solve the problem, too. We can use less wood and paper, or buy products made from recycled wood and paper. We could ask our governments to pass laws that preserve forests. And we should help educate our friends and family about this problem. Everyone’s help is needed to save rainforests and all the plants, animals, and people that live in them.
