Ten Steps You Can Take
We recommend this The Washington Post article to anyone interested in specific actions they could take to help reduce climate change. 10 steps you can take to lower your carbon footprint
In a similar vein, here are UUCC’s Climate Change Top 10.
Social Justice Impacts of the Climate Crisis
The climate crisis disproportionately adversely affects the poor and the less powerful, while it is disproportionately caused by the rich and powerful. In 2022, the UUCC Climate Crisis Team will focus the first half of 2022 on Climate Justice* and those affected, and the second half on the causes.
