Get Involved In Climate Change Action
Things you can do
- Reduce energy use. Some ways include unplugging appliances you're not using and using energy efficient light bulbs. Turn off lights you're not using.
- Conserve water. Take shorter showers, empty water out of closed containers, switch to water efficient appliances.
- Eat less meat. Specifically beef. Beef production leaves a huge carbon footprint. Contribute to that less than usual and choose alternatives.
- Sustainable transportation. Use sustainable options when you can, like walking, biking, and public transportation. Avoid airplane traveling and driving unnecessary places and distances.
- Recycle. Recycling materials properly helps limit the creation of new materials and pollution caused by old ones.
- Limit food waste. Don't overindulge when buying food. Buy only what you will use and try to purchase sustainable options. If you do have food waste, composting is a way to put it to good use.
- Purchase sustainably. Research the companies you are buying things from. Only support ones that use sustainable practices as much as possible.
- Get informed and educate others. Knowledge is power. Learn about what you can do to help your community. Advocate for yourself and your neighbors.
