What Are Simple Actions We Can Do? Don Hess, Climate Action Workgroup, Mendocino County Grass Roots Institute

Increasingly we experience devestating events due to climate change, from wildfires to hurricanes & cyclone bombs, to extreme heat events and floods. The 10 hottest years on record ever, 2014-2024, seriously affected biodiversity in our oceans. CO2 levels indicated in ice core samples show the trapped CO2 levels throughout the millenia, and now we have a "hockey stick" of change. Why? What happened? And what can we do about it?

Don Hess (Climate Action Group, Grass Roots Institute in Fort Bragg, Mendocino County, CA) shares several ways we can make a difference, from reducing carbon emissions in our choice of cars (how new EVs or hybrids can make a difference), to what we choose to eat (maybe try some plant-based options), to how we manage the energy in our homes (solar/battery options), especially what we do during peak energy-consumption hours.  What other small changes could we possibly make?
