"You must take action. You must do the impossible. Because giving up is never an option." -Greta Thunberg
4J Climate Justice Students invite people like you and me to make small shifts for big impacts to help Planet Earth. Shift to a new green habit!
There are many ways to reduce our carbon footprint-meatless meals, rethinking waste, conserving water, reducing and reusing items, getting outside and more! All living things are connected and we all share Earth as our home. When we make shifts to greener habits, it makes the world a healthier place to live. Take the pledge and commit to reducing waste!
Estudiantes de justicia climática/ambiental de 4J, inviten a personas como nosotrxs a tomar pequeñas acciones para hacer grandes diferencias y ayudar al planeta tierra. ¡Cambiemos a nuevos hábitos verdes!
Hay muchas maneras de reducir nuestra huella de carbono - comidas sin carne, reconsideración de basura, la conservación de agua, reutilización y reciclaje, actividades afuera y mucho más. Todos los seres vivos son conectados y todos compartimos la tierra como nuestro hogar. Cuando hacemos cambios hacia hábitos verdes, ayuda que el mundo sea un lugar mas sano y saludable para vivir. ¡Hagamos el compromiso a cuidar nuestro hogar y reducir nuestra basura!
We ALL have a role to play in protecting our planet for future generations to come.
Here are a few examples of simple things you can do NOW to do your part:
Shift your ride – Start with one trip a week using Eugene's renowned bike path system or commuting by scooter or bus.
Shift your meal – Commit to eating a plant-based meal 1-2 days a week.
Shift your bin – Utilizing the City's Love Food Not Waste program keeps methane-producing organic materials out of the landfill and into compost which the community can repurpose. Simply place food waste only in your yard-debris bin for pick up day.
Shift your community – Being on a first name basis with your neighbors is not only great for your wellbeing, but it’s also potentially lifesaving in the event of a natural disaster.
Shift your consumption – Did you know that in Lane County, nearly 70% of our emissions comes from upstream emissions – those occurring outside city limits related to the sourcing, manufacturing and transportation of goods? By reducing and reusing, you can significantly curb your carbon footprint!
