Something like cutting 10% of meat out of your diet, just eating 10% less of that can make a huge difference, especially if that's scaled up on a population level or within your community. Opt out of factory farming. And if you can source food and meat from your own community or from your friends who hunt or something, that's always a great option. That's something that my family does.

You can also think about acting on your personal home energy usage. Turn your thermostat up. You don't need to crank it down to 68 degrees. You may be a little less comfortable at 74, but you're saving a lot actually by doing things like that. And stay engaged. Contact your elected officials to voice support for climate action.

Keep this on the minds of the politicians that represent you in your community, on the county level, state level, and the federal level. Put pressure. Keep calling. Send emails. Post on your social media. Like, be vocal about the things that you care about. There's also a way to build your social life around just being more sustainable. Things like thrifting instead of buying new.

Like, can you buy used as much as possible? Used electronics, used home furnishings, used clothing. Being the next step in the life process. cycle of a product means you're keeping it out of the landfill for longer. And that really does make a difference in terms of emissions and also just, you know, being more taxing on the environment.

Yeah, so I have. I installed a heat pump system in my home. It actually is cheaper for me to install something like a heat pump rather than relying on my old 1940s furnace that's pulling from natural gas. It's an upfront investment, but I actually was able to get local county incentives to get that installed and state incentives. And there is still a federal heat pump incentive as well.

So those things haven't disappeared now that Trump has suddenly taken the White House. And I just went through that situation myself, and I'm already saving money on my energy bill.

Yeah, so we're keeping track of the effectiveness of the outcomes of Trump administration policy. We want to keep an eye on continued momentum on the state level as well. So like what's going on with climate action by the states? Is that pulling in the opposite direction of some of Trump's policies?

Like those things are really going to be interesting to watch, especially, you know, with some of these dynamics that we're seeing in red states that have big incentives to like continue investing in clean energy. What are the pace of technological advancements and cost reductions in clean energy? And I think public perception of climate change is so important as well.
