This (summer*) spring will be one of the hottest on record.
It will also be one of the coolest our children will know.
Pretty sobering thought right??
(* because although it feels like summer, we’re actually still in spring. But it will likely the same for this summer too.)
If you’re really struggling with the heat right now, remember that this heat is what 1.3°C of warming feels like. current policies & action have us on track for 2.1°C to 3.3°C of warming!! we all need to demand our MPs help us to limit how much the planet heats up.
I say this not to scare anyone, but because if we don’t want 3.3°C of warming (we don’t), for every one of us who is well, housed, safe with free time or money to do nice things, it’s time to engage.
Engaging in climate action can sound really scary, but it does not mean you have to protest or take direct action (you don’t) but you do have to actively play a part if you are resourced.
Here’s a few things you can do to get started.
💷 Move your money 💷
High street banks & pension funds pour trillions into the fossil fuel industry. Use or .green (their websites) to check out how your bank looks and get suggestions where to change too. The campaign has now ended but they have loads of resources still live such as templated emails you can send to your bank and / or pension providers, plus a table of pensions and their climate impact. And finally has a Climate Plan pension.
🥕 Eat more veg 🥦
25-30% of emissions come from food
50%+ food emissions come from animal products.
‘Crowd out’ the meat and dairy with increasingly more veg.
Remember - it’s not all or nothing; every little helps.
