6 ways ordinary people can prevent climate change

I thought this would be a good time to re-post this.

Just change 12 years left to act, to now only 11.

Worried about the environment?

Scientists, researchers and advocates share the top changes we can make to be part of the climate change solution.

What can we do?

Focus on solutions, according to Crystal Chissell, a vice president for Project Drawdown, a coalition of researchers and scientists who are working on climate change solutions.

Chissell says reports of impending doom tend to cause ordinary people to feel hopeless and to shut down.

“We will get a lot further toward solving the problem if we focus on solutions rather than continuing to highlight the problem,” Chissell says.

Project Drawdown recently put together a report highlighting 30 behavioral solutions ordinary people can take to combat climate change. The top three include wasting less food, adopting a plant-rich diet and consuming less energy and water.
