One of the central themes underpinning sustainable development is equality and fairness. This is reflected in the concept of 'empowered citizenship- in that we can all make contribution to making our community a better place now and in the future.
As a citizen it is my duty to informed. I am informed but I do not think it is effective enough. The primary sources of these information obout climate change mainly is the TV or newspaper. It is not always that a person reads the paper or instead of watching documentaries and the news you can watch other channels which are no where near talking about sustainable development.
The distribution of leaflets in my opinion is an effective way to inform people about climate change or advertisements in all channels not only particular channels. The internet has information for sustainable development but one has to have interest to search for the information. The complicated issues issues such as scientific should be let to the expert to tackle them but for the common man we could always contribute by maybe walk instead of using cars in short distances to avoid emission of gases. Another way to contribute to sustainable development is be recycling. In politics and economy major issues are best let to the experts but as I said earlier I the common man can always contribute example when I walk instead of using my car I will avoid the emission of gas which pollutes the environment as well as save money on petrol.

Which sources of information do you think are reliable in informing us about important issues? Are all sources biased?
