Climate change - it's one of those divisive topics.
You're either a true believer, a total sceptic or somewhere grey that's in between.
However, one thing is for certain - climate change is an issue that is becoming more and more important to young people and wider communities.
This federal election was dubbed the climate change election, as the major parties waged war over their climate policies.
But what does climate change mean for Tasmania?
We're a small island state that runs largely off Hydro (renewable) energy.
But, we're also a state that relies heavily on agriculture - and it's the farmers who will wear the brunt of any climate change weather trends.
East Coast farmer Henry Dunbabin has shared how climate change has impacted his farm as part of this series and BOM forecaster Ian Barnes-Keoghan has shared why we need to care about one degree warmer.
We're launching a series of articles that will be examining climate change in a Tasmanian context.
It will look the politics of the issue, throw a spotlight on renewables but also share tips and tricks on how the individual person can reduce their own carbon footprint.
It will look at Northern Tasmania's waste footprint and what is going into our bins. It will also ask the question - where does our recycling or FOGO waste go?
Where are the best plastic free restaurants and shops? Which coffee places accept keep cups or even give you a discount? We are going to find out!
