Simple choices and small behavior changes add up over time and across communities. The first step is to get the facts and make sure your family and community are aware that this issue is real, measurable, and happening now. Anything that reduces energy consumption or increases energy efficiency is the right move because such actions ultimately help to reduce carbon emissions and pollution.
