Solutions: Yes to Conservation; No to Freezing in the Dark

Here’s a Reuters wrap-up of easy-to-implement ways for individuals to address climateย change.

Some of these suggestions have that self-righteous, anti-comfort tone that is, frankly, counterproductive in the battle to get people to take action. For example,ย the European Commission urges that we shouldย allย turn down the thermostat; why not suggest instead that we all go out and buy really stylish sweaters in a warm, comfortable,ย renewableย fabric?

Still, there are good ideas here, and everything that doesn’t hurtย helps.
