Yes, it seems like there’s at least on cult piece on this every year, and USA Today’s Kaleb A. Brown steps up to the plate, though, he forgot to tell us whether he’s following these steps. And what the USA Today is doing, as they use quite a bit of fossil fuels to deliver their overpriced papers
With global warming intensifying, here are 10 ways you can fight climate change this summer
In December of 2017, 196 countries signed the Paris Agreement. Through reducing carbon emissions, this agreement aims to limit this century’s temperature increase to 2º C (3.6º F) at most, though it has 1.5º C (2.7º F) as a lower, more optimistic threshold. “[1.5º C] is an indicator of the point at which climate impacts will become increasingly harmful for people and indeed the entire planet,” said World Meteorological Organization Secretary-General Petteri Taalas in a recent statement.
Blah blah blah. Here are the 10
Put on your walking shoes
Free from the cold of winter and the allergies of spring, summer is when many find being outside a treat instead of a chore. Since the weather’s so nice, why not give walking a try? According to the EPA, transportation makes up a vast majority of carbon emissions, so it’s a good idea to cut back on your car rides where you can or try carpooling.
Ride a bike when a walk just won’t cut it
Or, you can mind your own f’ing business
Wear a bathing suit made from recycled materials
Put on ocean-friendly sunscreen
Use bug spray that keeps wildlife safe
Use a reusable bag for groceries
Drink from a reusable water bottle
Charge your devices with a solar-powered battery
Have you noticed that most of these are about the environment, not ‘climate change’?
Swap your meat for Beyond Meat
Opt for a fan instead of the AC
Speaking of beating the heat, you’ll want a way to cool off besides drinking water. For many people, this means buying and using air conditioning. But that uses a lot of electricity and therefore burns a lot of fossil fuel. We’ve compared fans and AC and found that part of what makes using a fan so effective when you’re feeling overheated is that a fan cools you down directly, instead of the whole room around you. Consider using a fan if you can stay close to the fan and if it’s under 95º F outside. We recommend the Dreo tower fan for its 90-degree oscillation and many speed options. Plus, you can integrate it with Alexa and Google Home.
Did Kaleb do this? How about at the USA Today buildings?
