A 2019 study showed that an act as simple as talking to your social circle about the climate creates a domino effect of greater awareness and concern. The New York Times has a great resource on climate change.

Learn recycling best practices.
Cardboard, paper, metal cans, and plastic bottles and jugs are all acceptable.
Make sure your recyclables are empty, clean, and dry.
Don’t bag it! Keep your recyclables loose and out of bags.
Use less plastic.
Plastic is derived from fossil fuels and takes thousands of years to break down. Take the following steps to reduce your plastic use:
Switch to reusable food storage bags and wrap.
Bring a reusable to-go coffee cup.
Support local farmers markets.
Buying fresh food from Evansville-area farmers markets supports our local economy. It also limits the number of miles food must travel before it reaches your dinner table, saving fuel. Plus, it’s healthier for you!
Start composting.
Composting is great way to reduce food waste. Check out this NPR story on how to start composting in your backyard or apartment.
Adopt a plant-rich diet.
One of the biggest impacts you can make as an individual is reduce your meat and dairy consumption. According to Project Drawdown, conservative estimates suggest that raising livestock accounts for 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and more comprehensive estimates say more than 50%.
