VOTE! In every election, even the tiny local ones. REALLY read up on the issues, who supports what, what’s their track record, etc.

Shop consciously. Beware of greenwashing. Avoid megacorps when possible.

Stop buying so much. Generally, people hyper consume everything. Clothing, house stuff, food, all of it.

Compost and avoid food waste where you can. If food waste were a country, it would be the 3rd largest carbon producer. That being said, tons is wasted before it ever gets to the consumer.

Eat local. Support your local farmer. Local food systems are so important!

Eat less meat. Factory farmed meat is HORRIBLE (ethically, environmentally, nutritionally). The alternative is expensive sometimes, but adding in a few meatless meals per week can help mitigate that!

Get to know your neighbors and community. Work to be a better member and person. Build up your skills (traditional? Trade-like? The descriptor word is evading me). A strong community is resilient. Think community sufficiency over self sufficiency.

Be kind. Give people benefit of the doubt. Practice empathy. We’ve lost our ability to handle others with different viewpoints. It’s a major problem.

There’s no returning to what we had. We’re in damage control mode right now. Take time to grieve what we’ve lost, but do SOMETHING. Anything will help, especially imperfect action.
