Leaning into Earth Stewardship

Making a list of actions to ease global warming is easy; leaning into actions when life gets busy is harder. The climate crisis is real, but hope is in doing our part. Here are five broad suggestions:

1.    Become wise consumers – quality over quantity, need over want, reusing, repairing, gifting and recycling as we go and supporting environmentally sound businesses.

2.   Monitor our use of energy – insulating, sealing, temperature control, dressing for weather, cold water wash, unplugging unused appliances, and planting trees.

3.   Green our transportation by driving less, carpooling, public transportation, electric vehicles, avoiding idling engines.

4.   Modify our diets to be more plant based; shop and store food to avoid waste; garden and compost.

5.   Spread the word, advocate and vote for sustainable policies and accountable leaders.
