I will watch Drawdown’s Climate Solutions 101 and share what I learned with others.

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or implementing some other small improvement.

I will spend at least 15 minutes researching and advocating for a comprehensive high speed rail network in my country/region.

When they are available, I will purchase products made from bamboo instead of wood, plastic, or metal.
