Enviornment and Politics.
17/f
I'm a senior in highschool, I believe in enviornmental conservation, recycling, wildlife protection, and stopping global warming. Yes I have varying intrests. What exactly do I do to make a difference in this world. What if I got into politics, and was a politician. Could i make a difference for the enviornment and if so how? I heard when your a politician you have power. I'm sure someone would listen to a politician other then some enviornmental conservationalist. What are the steps that I need to take? Someone, anyone, help. Sincerly, I want to make this world a better place for me, and you.

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
You can't really go to college to be a politician. You might want to look into majors in political science, government, and economics though. These would provide a solid base towards what you're thinking you want to do.
The real thing you need to do is get involved. Look into environmental organizations which are local and volunteer. Work towards meeting people and when you're out in college see if you can go to conventions, rallies, etc. Find an organization you like, and work your way up. Volunteering can lead to paid positions can lead to promotion.
So far as actual politics, becoming a politician is about who you know and how well you can convince people that you're the person they want to support. There's no "path" you follow to become a senator, governor, etc. People walk in and campaign from all walks of life; business people, activists, former military, etc. You just get yourself on a ballot, campaign, and win. That's the start of a political career.

start by doing a google search of local groups and politicians that share your passion, then arrange to volunteer. Shop around, try out different organizations until you find something (or someone) that really peaks your interest. Things will unfold from there. Good luck!
