Our children are counting on us!
Climate solutions and living a lifestyle that reflects our values about climate action can be fraught. How do we get it right? What information do we trust about what is being done on a daily basis to help in our community? How can we make choices when we are consumers dodging a wave of plastic wherever we turn? Is carrying our water-bottle and recyling enough?
Experts all agree that if we adopt these 3 practices, it will reduce the harmful emissions that are bad for our health and are threatening our future.
Take action with these 3 scientifically proven winners for a better planet:

Food waste is a big problem that most people don’t even think about. Food waste ends up in landfills, becoming methane gas, and contributes to 8-10% of global greenhouse gas emissions. According to Scientific America, 30-40% of food intended for consumption is not eaten.
It is tricky as a consumer to think about this when we are at the grocery store. From buying to storing and composting, HERE are some fabulous tips from The United Nations Environmental Program to help you keep food waste at bay.
We can’t always take public transportation. Sometimes it is inconvenient and often in some places it is just not an option. The Center for Energy and Climate Solutions has some tips on how you can choose cleaner options including biking, walking and choosing the most efficient vehicle (turns out even how you drive helps!) while hopefully taking public transportation when you can.
