Stop buying shit. Consumption = Emissions. Drive as little as possible. Cars = Emissions. Adjust your thermostat. HVAC = emissions. Eat less beef. Corn fed moo=methane. Buy shit with a buy it for life mentality. Get involved with your local urban planning and zoning. Everyone can do all of that right now.

Down the road, vote for the most climate friendly candidates. Run for office if you can.
