While there are certainly problems with the planet, there is still hope.
We can make waves as citizens, if we unite and dedicated ourselves to the goal.

Here Are Some Ways to Help:
Contact representatives, and let them know their citizens feel passionate about the climate crisis, and that they need to take action.
Spread the word! Share this website with whoever you can, and the crisis in general, to promote awareness: the first step to change is knowledge and vigilance.
Start your own compost! For more, reference the compost page.
Bike more instead of using cars and try not to fly as much.
Get a hybrid car, or even better an electric car.
Dry and wash your clothes by hand, using laundry lines and a sink!
Become a reducetarian: meaning you reduce dairy and meat slowly in an effort to help the climate!
"In a world of more than seven billion people, each of us is a drop in the bucket. But with enough drops, we can fill any bucket."

David Suzuki, a Canadian academic, science broadcaster and climate crisis activist. His advice on the most impactful thing to stop climate change is to be aware of your energy. Here's a list from his website:
"2. Use energy wisely — and save money too! . . .
Consider making some or all of these small changes. Together, they can really add up.
A house with a furnace is like a car that idles all day. Swap your furnace for a heat pump, which works by extracting heat from one location and transferring it to another
Install a programmable thermostat
Swap your gas stove for an electric stove, which will also lower indoor air pollution
Unplug computers, TVs and other electronics when you’re not using them
Wash clothes in cold water. Hang-dry your clothes when you can and use dryer balls when you can’t
Look for the Energy Star label when buying new appliances
Winterize your home to prevent heat from escaping and try to keep it cool in the summer without an air conditioner
Change to energy-efficient light bulbs
Get a home or workplace energy audit to identify where you can make the most energy-saving gains"
