Care about the environment? become a climate change activist like me

[c=#005E2F]Care about our planet and the world we live in? It's easy to become an environmental activist. Join or volunteer with a local environmental group. Plant trees in your community. Talk to your kids or parents, family, relatives, friends, co-workers about environmental issues. Get everyone thinking about climate change and the need for action! 🌍

Produce less garbage by recycling and composting more. By kitchen paper towels, and other products, made only of 100% recycled content. Yes, they are available and I buy them for my family.

If you live in an area where there is an election happening, talk to your local candidates. Ask them what they are doing to fight climate change and what polices they will support. Tell them you will only support candidates or parties that will take immediate and firm action on climate change, not some B.S. about what they will do in the future when conditions are right or the economy improves.

You don't need a university degree or a job with an environmental group to become a climate change activist. Just some common sense and a love for our planet. ♥️

Please do your part to save our world, and encourage others to do the same![/c]

P.S. If anyone has any comments, please post them here. I thank you all for your interest and support on this issue, but I am a F/T environmentalist and a F/T mom, so I can not respond to everyone who messages me! 🙂

First principle: walk the talk.
Make sure one's own life is 100% green.

This shows others that it possible, effective, cheaper, more comfortable, healthier and more aesthetically attractive.
When others see it, they start doing the same, feel grateful, and the movement spreads.

Guilt tripping, blaming and shaming doesn't work; it only makes people more defensive and resistant.

Asking people what they need, what matters most to them, and showing them how they can achieve this through green means works much more effectively.
