Radhika Iyengar, an associate research scholar at Columbia Climate School's Center for Sustainable Development, believes we need more grassroots initiatives. "Meet people old school-style in cafes or at local businesses or nonprofit organizations, spend time getting to know them, and come up with collective plans for sustainable living," she says. "Volunteer on environmental commissions and attend their meetings to understand what local change we can bring."
Katharine Hayhoe, a Canadian atmospheric scientist who has been called 'perhaps the best communicator on climate change,' says the most important thing you can do about climate change is to talk about it. Start a conversation about climate solutions and how individuals can make a difference. She recommends people join a climate group in order to magnify their impact. She also encourages people to urge their local news outlets to report on climate.
Cynthia Rosenzweig, adjunct senior scientist at the Climate School's Center for Climate Systems Research, says to focus on what you can accomplish by being aware of the impact of what you eat. 'Support local food systems,' she emphasizes, advocating for sustainable eating practices as an effective means of contributing to the climate change battle.
