Three Questions to Ask Yourself About Climate Action
Looking for ways to make a difference in advocating for climate friendly policies? Start with three simple questions.
An article by Ani Dasgupta frames a discussion of some of the positive actions by cities and countries around the world in the face of the increasingly threatening realities of climate change, especially in the wake of President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord.
Accepting the premise that "the best solutions come from engaged citizens and neighborhoods, businesses and community groups," Dasgupta offers three questions to help frame personal and collective responses to climate change:
How do you move?
What kind of building do you live in?
How do you connect?
Dasgupta provides more detail about how to make an honest and effective appraisal of each of these questions.
