Hey,

 

My name is Charlotte, and I’m a sophomore in high school in NYC. This blog started with a question: What can I do to help others feel empowered to lead a more sustainable life? Often, in the face of something as enormous as climate change, being just one person, we feel helpless within a sea of people, policies, and industries, and I completely understand the feeling of not knowing where to start. I think the answer to that is bringing the solutions home to you. My hope is for this blog to help you do just that, and, in light of the moment we are currently in, I hope it can also be a communal platform where we share and learn from each other. 

 

If you are not sure where to begin, I’d suggest taking this evaluation that will tell you your individual carbon footprint - including information on what that is - and what practices in your daily life constitute that carbon footprint. Awareness is always a good place to start!

It may seem like a lot, but do not feel discouraged. The tips here include actions that can easily be incorporated into your daily life and still make a big difference.
