We have lots of good advice on this blog about how you can reduce
your impact on climate change. Things like driving your car less, carpooling,
and riding your bike are things you can
act on.
But what if you feel
the need to better informed or even listened to about your opinions on climate change? How do you do that? What can you do if you want to begin to feel empowered and be part of the conversation?
Below are some ways you can test the waters. Your
action doesn't have to be a big commitment. But there's a chance you could get
hooked. Many of us don't even have 20 minutes
a day to spend on this... yet. Take a
chance and try one of these small steps. See how it makes you feel and then you
may be ready for another:
STEP ONE
5 minutes (one time): Tell
Congress It's Time to Address Climate Change - Use this form that you can
personalize to send a message to your
Members of Congress to let them know how
you feel about climate change. Go to https://secure2.edf.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=2051
STEP TWO
10 minutes (read at least one
time): Subscribe
to this newsletter about environmental issues, including climate change. Read
it when it arrives: http://www.davidsuzuki.org/sign-up/
STEP THREE
15 minutes (one time, but
maybe more?): Peruse this bio page of the bloggers
who write for "MOMS clean air FORCE", and are part of the
fight for clean air. Pick one of them you identify with and drop them a line on
their blog. Go to http://www.momscleanairforce.org/about-us/
