There are tangible ways for all of us to address the climate crisis. Individuals, families, companies, organizations, communities can do a lot to affect the climate. The more we exhibit concern, the more our collective efforts – protests, petitions – will get others to act.
Seniors for Climate MB has put together a list of things you can do:
- Live a 4R’s Lifestyle – adopt an environmental attitude
