Day 230:
The environment is what you depend on for life
Just remember, there is a FUCK LOAD of money to be made fighting climate change, but the people currently making money destroying the climate would prefer that they continue making all that money instead of shifting to another industry.
There is nothing technical stopping us from fighting this problem, its all political problems.
Which means that potentially the most important thing you can do to fight global warming is to vote out bad politicians and vote in better ones.

Calling your government representative:

Monitor your congressperson:
Keep track of how your senator is voting on cabinet picks here, so you can call them up and give them hell if they vote for any of these worthless fuckers.
See how your elected representatives are voting for or against Trump.
Elections!
Also be sure to keep track if you live in a district with an upcoming flip-able seat (flip to the left that is)
