Motivate and organize your climate actions using a Climate Action Map. We all need to be doing what we can, at all levels. www.climateactionmaps.org
Sure! Here's an idea of what a Climate Action Map based on the SHIFT guide I received might look like, with the actions I indicated I'm already doing checked off. For another example, see www.climateactionmaps.org/climate-frie...

Everyday #ClimateAction

Have a vegetarian lunch.

I’m very lucky that my PhD environmental scientist spouse laid off from NASA can also cook!

Black bean, green chili, tomato and red pepper quiche with corn tortilla crust.

Substitute plant milk for dairy in your morning beverage.

I prefer the taste of oat or soy chai to dairy, actually. I’m allergic to soy, but oat works. It even froths well. And I save 365 cups of cows milk per year.

Bonus: I’m less congested.

Express your politics by your choice of EV!

If you’re MAGA, there are lots of cheap used Teslas available.

And if you’re NOT, consider one of the many other good options, including Hyundai, Kia, and Rivian!

Freeze leftovers before you tire of them. Reuse qt takeout containers for 2-portion convenience. 1 2-lb corned beef brisket & cabbage =4 meals for 2!

Did you know that food waste is a top driver of climate change?

Save energy and cook with electric power by using your Crock Pot.

Our homemade corned beef smells so good! (Local beef, coriander, ginger, mustard seeds, peppercorns, cloves, bay leaves, cabbage, potatoes.)

Grow a garden. In our short-season climate, good crops are zucchini, greens, herbs, onions, strawberries, raspberries, and rhubarb.

Ride an e-bike to visit a friend.

This is our friend Bill who rode his e-bike 20 miles round trip on mountain roads to see us today.

50) Make plans to drive your EV for your next business trip, instead of flying.

Bonus: I’m going to camp in this lovely state park

28) (For flexitarians. Vegans just walk on by…)

How many servings you can get out of one roast chicken? We get 8 servings of meat + 12 of broth/soup. (For broth, save bones, add water, celery and onion, and cook in instant pot.)

And cat gets 4 meals from liver.

23) Do something fun that is also exercise, for at least 1 hr.

Best if it’s outdoors, and reminds us of our connection to Nature.

We need to be strong and resilient and come from FIERCE LOVE to resist the regime’s climate policies!

21) From Camila Thorndike (Harris campaign climate chair):

Share your stories of benefiting from the climate action funding in the IRA!

I’ll go first: I’ve gotten 30% back on insulation, solar array, and heat pump. And $7500 on an EV. Thank you, Biden/Harris!

19) Save plastic and $ by making your own natural sensitive-skin antibacterial deodorant.

My recipe: 1/2 c aloe vera juice,
1/2 tsp MgOH powder,
4 drops cedar, 2 drops clary sage and 2 drops rosemary essential oil.

Add to reusable roll-on bottle and shake well.

17) Insulate windows with cell shades, to reduce energy needed to heat your house. (I got these installed just in time before the cold snap! Makes a very noticeable difference.)

13) Move towards a pescatarian/ Mediterranean or vegan diet, for the health benefits (in my case, reduction in arthritis symptoms and colon cancer risk) and for the climate.

We have plenty of love and toys already, so this is surprisingly easy.
