You are Protecting the Ecosystem.
If you’re anything like me, you woke on November 9, 2016 feeling like you’d been on a bender of collegiate proportions. Whatever your political leanings, the potential danger of a presidential administration filled with folks who’ve profited from Big Oil, Big Agriculture, and well, BIG climate change-denial is real. You’ve signed petitions, unloaded your rage on social media, and marched your heart out. They’re all fantastic routes to progress, but it’s important to remember that there are plenty of environmental solutions that start with our day-to-day behavior.
If you’re feeling helpless as pipelines are built, protections around water quality are demolished, and the existence of the Environmental Protection Agency is threatened, let this be a primer. Here are five simple things you can do right now to protect our ecosystem and its inhabitants—no petitioning, lobbying, or raging against the machine required. This list isn’t exhaustive, so don’t feel limited by it, but it’s a start.
