So, instead of sitting around and moping about climate change, I'm going to try to be active about it. I may not have the organizational know-how to start a large-scale crusade, but I can do lots of little things.
Firstly, I will share with you the Nature Challenge from the David Suzuki Foundation website:
We've researched the 10 most effective ways to help conserve nature and improve our quality of life. Here’s how you can make positive changes:
1. Reduce home energy by 10%
2. Eat meat-free meals once a week
3. Buy a fuel efficient, low-polluting car
4. Choose an energy efficient home and appliances
5. Stop using pesticides
6. Walk, bike or take transit to regular destinations
7. Prepare your meals with locally produced food
8. Choose a home close to regular destinations
9. Support alternatives to the car
10. Get involved, stay informed (<----e.g. by signing up for the Nature Challenge at www.davidsuzuki.org)
Also, I'm thinking of buying at least some carbon offsets to negate the effect of my flight home for X-Mess. And next time I'll take the bus, since apparently that is the lesser of the two evils by far.
