Change is necessary now. To save the planet, action needs to be taken, even in the smallest ways. Each image in this gallery represents elements of coastal climate change and what we need to do. Cliffs are decaying, sea levels are rising, and we only have around 7 years left before everything we have done to our planet is irreversible. We need to take accountability for our actions, pick up what isn't ours, and understand that this is our reality. Climate change is real and the time to act is now.
