An aware society is the best weapon against climate change. And this is where environmental journalists play a crucial role. They inform and they raise awareness among people. Sustainability, biodiversity and renewable energies are some of the topics covered by professionals that are increasingly more essential. Environmental writers use their unique voice and writing skills for a cause they believe in. In this way, they contribute to the worldwide discussion about the environment and ways to protect it. They research both viewpoints of an environmental issue and report on it in an ethical, yet realistic, way. While they introduce both spectrums of the argument, they don’t downplay the impact of the issue in their writing.
