RESOLUTIONS TO HELP THE CLIMATE

It’s not too late to set New Year’s resolutions, and here are some ideas for protecting our climate:

First, make a resolution to discuss your support for climate solutions, like clean energy and clean transportation, more frequently with your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers. These discussions will be good for you, them, and the climate.

Second, look at where you bank. If your bank lends to carbon-intensive industries, just $1,000 in your account could produce as much carbon as a flight from NYC to Seattle. The website for “Green Bank” will tell you how your bank is doing, and suggest greener banks to consider.

Third, try out some new plant-based recipes to add to your regular meals. At the “Veganuary” website, you’ll find cooking guides, recipes, and they’ll even send you a free e-cookbook. So, if you haven’t made any resolutions, consider these; and if you’ve already made resolutions, consider adding these three for the climates’ sake.

About tricitiesccl

A group of concerned citizens dedicated to preserving the climate that our civilization is adapted to, the Tri-Cities Chapter serves the cities of Richland, Pasco, Kennewick. We are focused on training and supporting volunteers in promoting a national approach to mitigating climate change. We seek a solution that will endure into the future. Therefore, we advocate a national revenue-neutral market-based solution designed to appeal to both conservatives and liberals. We recognize that such a solution requires political will for passage through Congress. That is why we are joining hundreds of groups in the U.S., Canada, and abroad in working to build political will as a part of the Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL).
