1. Attitude = our most powerful tool in stopping climate change.
We are constantly reading and sending body language and emotional signals to those around us – so it is vital that we send the right messages. We are going to stop climate change! Sharing that understanding helps lift people up out of despair and into action. Taking action brings feelings of fulfillment and satisfaction. This ain’t no time for the paralysis that comes with despair. Show your strength for our own well being, and that of the Earth.
2. Communicate!
Let people in government and business know that you are asking that they do more to address climate change. Always have a specific action you are requesting. One example now: ask your elected representatives to STOP government subsidies of fossil fuel companies. This is an important step, and the oil companies do not need the subsidies. Next step in government interaction with fossil fuel companies should be garnishment of some small percentage of recent profits – the funds used for controlling methane release from oil and gas operations, reforestation projects and other climate rescue initiatives.
3. Share our handout cards.
Share our business card size handouts with motorists you encounter who are parked with their motor running, adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere for no benefit of motion. Image above. We get mostly very positive responses from folks we’ve given the cards to.
4. Vote!
Yes, of course, this comes up under both categories because it is in our own hands to easily do, and because our votes are a powerful way to “Shout” our aims and wishes.
5. Talk to people in your life.
Share a message of confidence and hope – and ACTION.
