Meet Alex, a 21-year-old Environmental Studies major at the University of Waterloo. Growing up in a family of passionate activists, Alex has always been concerned about climate change and its impending effects on the world. They often engage in spirited discussions about sustainability and feel a sense of urgency to raise awareness, which sometimes leads to a rather pessimistic worldview. Despite this, Alex tries to enjoy the little things in life, like spending time outdoors, while grappling with the reality of the environmental crisis.
