Do This: Fight the Climate Crisis

Jul 24, 2025 | Climate Change, Easy A

Remember learning about the hole in the ozone layer back when we were in school? And that to fix it, we had to stop using aerosol hairspray?

We also learned the importance of recycling to preserve natural resources. And none of us will ever forget to cut through plastic six-pack rings so that animals don’t get caught in them once they are thrown away!

The bottom line is, we know how to take action when there are problems threatening our environment. It’s the same with climate change.

The climate crisis is serious but solvable. Scientists understand it and have given us solutions including solar and wind power; improving transportation, engineering, and architecture; and implementing sustainable farming and land management.

Of course, those are big, systemic changes – not exactly the same as putting newspaper in the recycling bin. But there are also small, individual changes we can each take to help every day — things like planting native pollinators instead of grass in our yards, or eating less meat and dairy.

We’re going to dig deeper into how to fight climate change on August 19 when meteorologist and climate action advocate Chris Edwards returns for another event with us! He’ll be joined by Tina Catron from EDF Action for How You Can Fight Climate Change.

How You Can Fight Climate Change, Tuesday Aug 19, 7:30PM ET, Virtual Event

We’ll walk through actionable steps we can take, big and small, to reverse the course of climate change. Remember, if you sign up for our events, we’ll email you a recording afterwards. So even if you can’t make the live event, sign up and watch when your schedule allows!

When Chris joined us for Climate Change 101, he was honest. He said solving the climate crisis is going to be hard, but reminded us that we’ve done hard things before (like giving up that Aqua Net!) and we can do it again. Join us!
