Climate change actions

Climate Change - but what can I do?

More powerful, quick and easy, one-off tasks are:

move to a green energy supplier;
switch to an ethical bank;
if you have investments, move them to an ethical fund;
write to your elected representatives telling them you expect your government to adhere to the Paris Agreement on Climate Change;
* If you are in the UK, this is how to fimnd them
tell election candidates that this is such a serious issue to you that it will determine how you vote;
vote for the greenest candidate.

These acts are the ones that will change the behaviour of governments and corporations.

Ongoing changes:

repair and recycle more;
buy less;
buy local and in season;
reduce your waste;
turn down your heating and put another layer on;
don't fly;
tell your employer you want them to be more green in their purchasing;
when in meetings ask "What are the environmental impacts of each option?" and support the greener solutions;
investigate energy monitoring, insulation, micro power generation, energy saving options for your home;
use public transport rather than a car;
switch off the lights in rooms that are empty;
switch off anything else you are not using;
discover the local area before holidaying abroad;
wash clothes at the right temperature and always fill the washing machine;
don't put the dishwasher on until it is full
dry clothes on a washing line rather than a tumble-dryer;
shower rather than bathe;
