It’s April and I am sweating like crazy, it fucking sucks, but it also got me wondering what can I do? There is so much conflicting advice out there, even if I tell others about this, when they ask for a solution what do I tell?

Do what you can to stop feeding the petroleum products industry. They use the money you give them to literally fuel this crisis.

  • Choose an EV or hybrid for your next car
  • Stop buying plastic storage containers and avoid plastics wherever you can

If you own your home, check into federal, state, and local rebates for these things:

  • Replace your HVAC when it’s time with a heat pump
  • Replace your water heater when it’s time with an electric or heat pump model
  • If you live in a cold climate, look into electric-based heated flooring
  • Look into solar panels for your roof

Adding to these good suggestions: shop at thrift stores.

And if you have time: volunteer at a thrift store.
