Welcome to episode one of Ryantist the Scientist. Today Gracie calls in to ask, "What are three actionable steps that we can add to our routines to help protect the environment?" Thank you, Gracie, for being a listener and for your support!
The idea of taking action to fix an issue as big as climate change, pollution, plastic pollution, and habitat loss can feel so overwhelming and hard to get started on. But what if I told you that these large-scale actions to improve the environment and the world are made up of millions of individual actions (coordinated and individualized) that people like us take every day? It can feel like our actions don't matter and have no real impact, but every action that isn't taken toward improving our environment is another piece that's missing from the work.
So let's talk about action! What are three actionable and realistic things you can add to your routine to help change the world?
You can visit the Billion Oyster Project to learn more about what they do, send your support, and find ways to get involved.
You can also visit WeAct for Environmental Justice to learn about their policy agendas, their mission, how they have helped to shape policy in New York City and nationally, and to send support and join the organization as a member.
Find your representatives here to learn who they are, how to contact them, and links to the policies they support and will work toward.
