"Point of no return"

When is it scary enough for everyone to change? Not just a light bulb, but really change? And make our communities, businesses, schools, organizations, and governments change, too?

When does it look bad enough that we make our priority list and work on transforming our own habits and the "givens" (cars>everything, for example), that drive how our city budgets are made, how our projects are ordered, who gets listened to, who gets ignored.

• Quit driving fossil fuel vehicles. Quit flying. Walk, ride, or take the bus (AND SUPPORT BETTER BUS SERVICE). Take the train. Rethink our privilege. Do we really "deserve" that vacation to Europe?
• Don't be a dupe. People are paid to lie to slow climate action.
• Eat beans and veg (that grow nearby, if possible) not meat and dairy.
• If you can, support and invest in solar, from installing your own panels to R-Connect and solar farms.
• Seal, insulate, upgrade HVAC & electrify.
• Divest from fossil fuel enablers and demand foundations, university and community, and pension funds divest, too.
• Where there is a plan, insist that the plan is followed.
• Consider the source and choose another way.
• Quit buying unnecessary stuff. Share stuff. Repair, reuse, and repurpose stuff. Use, love, and support the library's Library of Things.
• Tell others what is actually happening. Demand local media cover the climate collapse. Don't be silent.
• Support and push for legal consequences for climate liars.
• Support and vote for candidates who actually get it and will actually do something if you can find any.
• Honor PLASTIC FREE JULY because plastic is how the fossil fuel industry plans to continue ruining the planet.
