Can I influence others to reduce their carbon footprints?
From: michal rahfaldt
Series: COP16 Youth Voices from Africa
Length: 03:57
18 year-old Noloyiso Mthana, 16 year-olds Thulisa Nyathela and Nkosinathi Madyosi, and 15 year-olds Brandon Van Niekerk, Kimico Peterson and Nadine Prince discuss the possibility of influencing their friends and families to change their behavior in order to reduce their carbon footprints. Issues of respect for elders and culture come into the debate, as does the power of logic and reason, and finally, the importance of starting somewhere and influencing those you can.
