Little Leaps

 Little Leaps Become Big Climate Solutions

When it comes to finding climate solutions, making a difference can feel overwhelming. But each of us can take a little leap out of our familiar, into a new normal, and make a difference.

I’ve been inspired by the idea that we can build a future that we want to live in. I am dedicated to imagining a future that is full of thriving people, plants, creatures, philosophies, and things I care deeply about. Below is a list of actions we can each take with links to more details.

• Reduce food waste by doing an honest assessment of what you'll really eat and purchasing only that.

• Conserve water by putting a layer of mulch around trees and plants. Mulch slows the evaporation of moisture.

• Drive Less. For errands that are 4 blocks or closer and require carrying less than 10 lbs, commit to walking or riding your bike.

• Stay tuned. I will be sharing more ideas each month.

Remember: You don’t have to be perfect. And you don’t have to win the “most bold achievement award.” One step toward a positive future is better than standing still in an old and unhealthy habit. Our ambitions move us forward while our imperfections keep us humble.
