Climate Changed

5/14/2014

It's not a debate. It's fact. The climate has changed and will continue to change in ways we are not prepared for. While the media has been slow to jump on the bandwagon of scientific evidence, thank goodness we have groups opening up the discussions--not IF it's happening but HOW we can combat global climate change and better prepare for its already occurring catastrophes (drought, wildfires, flooding, extreme heat). Please join 350 Sacramento in Sacramento's very first Town Hall Meeting on Climate Change this Saturday at The Met (9:30am-4pm).

One of the biggest changes you can make to help curb your emissions is, of course, parking your car and using alternative forms of transportation. In fact, I'm pretty sure that riding a bike will basically solve just about all of our health issues--environmental, personal, social. I feel so lucky that we have already made the shift to bicycles-as-transportation, it's most of the preparation we need for some of the major changes we will be facing--we don't need a car/clear roads to get around, we are strong and can travel long distances with all we need on our bike, our bodies are used to a variety of temperatures and can adjust themselves accordingly. Now I'm not quite at the stage where I have a bugout kit in my garage and we're not honing our survival skills, yet--I do really love my dishwasher and dryer. However, we all need to be making changes to our behavior--motor vehicle addition is at the top of that list. 

This is a conversation that is sadly just beginning, it's one that we need to continue to move forward and take action immediately. My current action is to continue biking and driving as little as possible while encouraging and helping others to do so as well. My goal is to work at using less energy at home (beloved dryer, sigh) and shift our meals to more locally sourced foods. 

What are you going to do? Let's support each other and share our best carbon-cutting plans. There is no greater need for community than when we are facing disaster and this disaster affects everyone everywhere. This could be a great opportunity to bring back the local-global connection and compassion that we seem to have lost.
