They are strong enough being a part of a solution instead of staying a part of a problem in climate change.
Climate change education aims at increasing awareness of interconnectedness. It applies systems thinking. According to the systems view human beings are part of natural systems first, living thing second, human beings third, members of society and culture fourth, and particular individuals fifth. Without the well-functioning biosphere there can be no society, and without society there can be no societal functions, including economy. The economy is a sub-system of larger but finite planet Earth.
The philosophical principles of climate change education can be applied to real life by good maxims such as first walk, then bike, then ride. Walking and cycling is better for health and climate. It combines egoistic and altruistic goals of life. Egoism and altruism are intangible.
