  2. Hello, I am currently in training to become a state-approved educator and would like to write my thesis on the topic of "sustainability". The book tips will certainly help me, but do you personally have some tips for me, how I bring the whole thing scientifically across, without it looks like "copy"?
    Love greetings

    1. Hi Cindy! I'm glad you're using the sustainability theme for this 🙂 .
      Always cite sources, for example, when using third party statistics and facts. By giving texts your personal style, for example. There are hundreds of answers to your question.
      Wish you maximum success 🙂
