We encourage you to address the current environmental and health challenges and issues that you find important in your country. We also encourage you to share ideas on how these challenges and issues can be solved. For example, if you decide to address air pollution you can reflect on the significant positive impacts of being an active individual on your health and national / international pollution levels: by walking and cycling rather than driving your car to get to work / school. Remember, one picture is worth a thousand words so get inspired and help us make a real change!
