Hi Hannah, what environmental problems are you most interested in solving? Carbon emissions, water pollutions, waste management... the list goes on. I would suggest focusing on one problem, and do something about it and document your actions in social media.
For example, a Dutch teen Boyan Slat created an engineering solution to collect plastic waste in Pacific ocean. As another example, I personally follow a 'trash walker' who goes around NYC to find treasure in garbage and show how wasteful some people/businesses are. I also follow influencers who thrift and recycle materials, or share sustainable consumption lifestyles.
Just use your create mind and focus on the sustainability topics that you are most passionate about!
