If this newsletter has inspired you to think beyond hamburgers, gas-guzzling cars and heat pumps, we asked a few scientists and advocates where to focus your energy.
"Pay attention to how the climate crisis is linked to other injustices, and push policymakers to implement equitable solutions that address multiple problems simultaneously. … Vote for policymakers who understand the interconnectedness of these important issues and prioritize just climate solutions. And, if you are able, donate to grassroots organizations working for change at the community level."
-- Rachel Cleetus, a policy director at the Union of Concerned Scientists
"I'm convinced that the first most effective thing all of us can do is to use our voices to advocate for change: where we live, where we study, where we work, where we worship and even where we play. We need companies to change, as well as cities and churches; schools and universities, businesses and organizations. And no matter who they are, or where they are, that change begins when someone starts a conversation -- about why climate change matters to them, and what they can do to make a difference."
-- Katharine Hayhoe, climate scientist and distinguished professor at Texas Tech University and chief scientist at The Nature Conservancy
"We need to demand climate action at every level of government, from city councils to state legislatures to the federal government. We need to demand the rapid deployment of clean renewable energy infrastructure in a way that doesn't leave the most vulnerable behind."
-- Eddie Bautista, executive director of the New York City Environmental Justice Alliance
