We can make a difference and get the word out about catastrophic climate change! Per the IPCC, the world has just 12 years to completely overhaul transportation, electricity generation, and military, so small personal changes have no chance of averting the crisis. However, if we work together to push for policy changes, many scientists agree that this deadly crisis is avoidable.

    My town, and the US in general is very car centric. Public transportion is lacking and is hard to rely on full time, so almost everyone owns a car and is dependent on it day to day. If cities were planned smarter and more funding was allocated to transit and building safe walking/bike paths, we could reduce carbon emissions

    There is a persistent myth that the environment is a separate "thing" but in reality humans are part of the environment we inhabit. We suffer as the environment is degraded by our collective actions. Community health is a smaller subset of our environment. The focus is on the people and ecosystems near us in space and time and the...

    People in richer countries eat more meat because it is available and not as expensive relative to income. It is part of the culture to eat meat, and lots of it. Many times it is cultural, all the recipes my mother has for dinners use meat! Going meatless is going into the unknown for many people. They don't understand how much protein is...
