To prepare for climate change, focus on both mitigation (reducing emissions) and adaptation (adjusting to unavoidable impacts) by making sustainable choices in your daily life, advocating for climate action, and preparing your home and community for potential extreme weather events. Tips to Prepare for Climate Change
- Energy: Conserve energy at home by using energy-efficient appliances, reducing heating and cooling consumption, and switching to renewable energy sources.
- Transportation: Walk, bike, or use public transportation whenever possible. Consider electric vehicles or hybrid options.
- Diet: Reduce your meat consumption and opt for more plant-based meals, as animal agriculture contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions.
- Waste: Reduce, reuse, and recycle. Compost food scraps and yard waste.
- Consumption: Be mindful of your consumption habits and choose sustainable products.
- Support policies: Contact your elected officials and urge them to take strong action on climate change.
- Invest in sustainable solutions: Support companies and organizations that are working to reduce emissions and promote climate resilience.
- Educate others: Share information about climate change and encourage others to take action
Lets come together and change our decisions for a better future.
