  • Portrait Aleksandar Dimitriev

    Aleksandar Dimitriev, 16 years
    Skopje, Macedonia

    Aleksandar Dimitriev is a 10th grade student and lives in the Republic of Macedonia.

    He took part different events and competitions focussing on community work.

    • The jewel of my capitol, which used to be twice as wide.
    • Rooftop - Skopje, Macedonia. Not the most-wanted story in this building.
    • We are advancing faster and faster downwards.
    • No one man can do that by himself...
    • Are they stalagmites or stalactites? Depends on how you look .
    • Is it Night or is it day? Who can really say...
    • If we don't stop global warming, this artificial brightness is the only light we will have
    • Homeless - A side-effect of global warming and climate change.
    • Trash Can - Or what is left of it to be more precise.
    • Like a closet under a flight of stairs, these ruins are probably someones home.
    • How much is there left until the problem is too big to solve.

    Although global warming is a major threat today, it can't be solved globally but must be understood and solved individually in our daily lives. The objective of our activities in our environment in which we live is to contribute to the solving of the global warming problem caused by many factors. Due to the increased number of vehicles the emission of harmful gas and particles is the main reason for air pollution in the central town area. We should focus on education and provide information with regard to the consequences induced by traffic and pollution.

    We should fight climate change by reducing our own carbon emissions. Walking to my school every day for more than 3 miles is my personal contribution to the above goal.
    If everyone in our community makes a small change, we will make Skopje and Macedonia a better place and will be able to live our lives without added health risks and shortened life expectancy. It is the only way to ensure a better future for our city.
