Description
x"What can I do, personally, about the climate crisis? . . . Ask yourself, what are you passionate about? Using this passion may motivate you to help shape the future of your community."
--The New York Times Climate Forward newsletter This must-have book shows us WHY we need to take action now to combat climate change and then, critically, HOW, through easy-to-understand language and fascinating infographics that offer each of us varied and doable solutions to the many challenges facing our planet. As more focus is put on climate science, there is a need for each of us to learn how we can change our habits in our home, communities, and government to save our planet. Enter The Climate Action Handbook. A visually stunning guide, it does what no other climate change book manages to do: it's approachable, digestible, and offers the average person ideas, options, and a roadmap for action. It also offers hope--often overlooked in climate change conversations. Climate actions can create near-instantaneous improvements in air quality and can offer ways to address societal inequities, green our communities, save money, and build local economies. From food and fashion choices, rethinking travel, greening up our homes and gardens, to civic engagement and championing community climate planning, Dr. Heidi Roop shares 100 wide-ranging ways that readers from all walks of life can help move the needle in the right direction. Actions include:
- Cutting down on food waste
- Reducing your driving speed
- Voting in every election
- Using the cold-water cycle on your washing machine
- Supporting healthy soils in your gardens and community green spaces
- Engaging in local climate action planning
- Preparing an emergency kit for your home
- Deleting unused emails and online accounts
- Swapping out milk for nondairy alternatives like oat milk
- Opting for slower shipping whenever possible
- Regularly maintaining and clean your heating and cooling systems
- Engaging in climate conversations at work and at home
And many more! Return to this invaluable resource again and again to discover a roadmap for action and much-needed hope. What will your climate journey look like?
