Halting and then Reversing Climate Change
The list to the left suggests simple ways we can reduce our personal impact on climate change. It came out of a talk by cathedral member Dr. Paul Barten.
The goal? To reduce our own contribution to climate change by just 2% a year—something each one of us can manage to do. In ten years that adds up to TWENTY PERCENT less use of energy.
2% reduction x 10 years = 20% less impact
The articles below explain how easy that 2% is to achieve. Check back monthly for the next installment.
