“The past decade was the hottest on record, the latest sign of global warming’s grip on the planet.”

ACTION REQUIRED: Climate change mitigation and adaptation must become a high priority. Take a careful look at what you do. How dependent are you on burning fossil fuels? Put a plan in place to limit your exposure to that.

Example of goals you could set for this year and coming decade:

🌍Become Climate Conscious
👩🏻‍🎓Become Carbon Literate
🗳️Vote climate deniers out of office
🚘Drive less (switch to EV transportation if possible)
✈️Fly less or not at all (the worst transport choice)
☀️Switch to renewable electrical energy
