NOW!

Dear Partners in Green,

Well, it does not look good for the planet in light of the Trump administration and Project 2025, but the BBC offered some suggestions for what we as individuals can do to truly make a difference. The suggestions, which I would like to call my own, include the following:

• Recycle as much as possible (paper, plastic, metal, glass).
• Reduce consumption of products that are made with fossil fuels.
• Walk, bike, carpool, or take public transportation whenever possible.
• Eat less meat — especially red meat — which has a high carbon footprint.
• Plant trees and support reforestation efforts.
• Support renewable energy in your community.
• Engage with elected officials about environmental policies.

These are not small actions when taken collectively. They are not insignificant. And if we take them — and if millions more do as well — we can make a real difference.

So let’s act now! Let’s not wait while the destruction of our planet slides farther into the future. Now is the time for each of us to take responsibility, to act intentionally, to share with others what we know, and to make change happen in our families, organizations, communities, and neighborhoods.

Thank you for being on this journey.

Wishing peace and health to you and your loved ones.

Until next time,
Beth
