I think these latest floodings have been a wake-up call for many of the people, polilticians and others, who either believe that nothing can be done, or that nothing needs to be done.
Anything we can do to limit pollution will make a difference, it may only be slight, but it will help, especially if we conciously try to make others aware of the need and of what they can do.
Far to often I hear people saying, "What can I do as an individual? It's up to the politicians, the government, the EU etc. etc.)
What we all can do is to stop wasting water, electricity, driving unless we absolutely have to - most of us are still fit enough to walk or ride a bike, aren't we?
Obviously, some of the steps we should be taking such as avoiding plastic are more difficult than just using waste water to water the garden, but most of us can find the time to do something to halt climate change.
We are three families within a nieghbourhood that have stopped mowing the lawns in their entirety, but are leaving shrubberies and areas of grass to return to nature. We started this three years ago, and this summer we can see that there are more birds, bees, insects, hedgehogs and wild flowers around.
