I would make sure that young people are taught about finances while they are at school. When they leave school or college they will get a job and need to manage their money, pay bills and be self-sufficient, but no one actually tells young people how to do this.

I would lessen the pressure schools and colleges put on students in making career choices and instead help students find their passions and pursue them. Young people are under so much pressure to make the right decisions that they often forget about, or put aside their true passions.

I would try and divert government funds to projects that would get more people to change their habits. While there are environmental reasons for climate change, humans have a big part to play.
