As the world warms, extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and intense, sea levels are rising, prolonged droughts are putting pressure on food crops, and many animal and plant species are being driven to extinction. It’s hard to imagine what we as individuals can do to resolve a problem of this scale and severity.
The good news: We are not alone.People, communities, cities, businesses, schools, faith groups and other organizations are taking action. We’re fighting like our lives depend on it — because they do.
In a world of more than seven billion people, each of us is a drop in the bucket. But with enough drops, we can fill any bucket.
David Suzuki

The many ways to reduce your transportation emissions will also make you healthier, happier and save you a few bucks. Whenever and wherever you can:
Take public transit.
Ride a bike.
Car-share.

The small changes you make add up:
Change to energy-efficient light bulbs.
Unplug computers, TVs and other electronics when you’re not using them.
Wash clothes in cold or warm (not hot) water.
Dryers are energy hogs, so hang dry when you can and use dryer ballswhen you can’t.
Install a programmable thermostat.
Look for the Energy Star label when buying new appliances.
Winterize your home to prevent heat from escaping.
Get a home or work place energy audit to identify where you can make the most energy-saving gains
