EVERYONE needs to cut back! Reduce flying when possible (seeing family is an exception unless you can take Amtrak), invest in solar panels if you can afford it. I did 7 years ago and now I have saved enough to pay for them and it's all savings now. Reduce driving-double and triple up on errands, etc., and don't waste food. I finally bought an electric car after 19 years with my Ford hybrid, and it is so quiet and smooth-I'm glad I made the switch. Divest from fossil fuel companies if you have investments, and write to your congressmen about reducing fracking/tar sands/shale oil extractions, they require VAST amounts of energy and destroy land. And most of all, let's get Harris/Walz elected to push for and sign climate friendly legislation!
