From Katharine Hayhoe’s recent newsletter:
Here is the list of the most effective ways individuals can catalyze change:
- Start a conversation about why climate change matters and what people can do about it
- Join a climate action group to amplify your voice and others
- Consider where you keep and how you spend your money (including your bank, credit card, retirement, and purchases)
- Spark ideas for change at work, school, church, or any other organization you are part of
- Hold politicians at every level accountable by voting and by telling them why climate change matters and what you want them to do about it (this includes showing up at town hall meetings!)
- Reduce your personal footprint and make your actions contagious by talking about them with people you know and encouraging them to do the same
As environmentalist and Third Act founder Bill McKibben often says, “the most important thing an individual can do is not be such an individual. Join together with others to make change!”
