Have a vegetarian lunch.
I’m very lucky that my PhD environmental scientist spouse laid off from NASA can also cook!

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!

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.)

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!
