We Have the Power!
YOU and your actions are critical to the climate solution! Each of us has a unique contribution to make, and science has shown that together we have the power to create a climate-stable future. In fact, the climate action think-tank, Project Drawdown , determined that individual and household actions could reduce a whopping quarter of the total emissions reductions needed to avoid dangerous climate change rise above 1.5°C. Even for climate-conscious individuals, it can be all too easy to lose track of the actions that produce the greatest carbon-reduction impacts. To serve as a guide, Project Drawdown has stack- ranked a list of desirable individual and household conservation measures. The result is a list of high-impact, practical actions that families can take to collectively reduce global emissions by as much as 25%! We Can Change Our Future!

The Playbook aims to facilitate and accelerate the process of creating this sustainable future by aligning the initiatives above with 4 actionable areas: Food, Home, Shopping, Travel. It also outlines a process for doing it — Learn, Adopt, Model, Nudge, Advocate & Donate through which individuals and communities can power measurable, collective change! Of course, you will ultimately choose the level of personal commitment you will devote to each segment. … After all, it’s only YOUR active participation that helps all of us bring positive change to life! Building communal willingness to make fresh personal choices is the vital link to beating two of our greatest environmental challenges: reduction of CO2 emissions and development of a global consumption rate that our planet can sustain.
