As Ayanna Elizabeth Johnson and her collaborators point out in What If We Get It Right? Visions of Climate Futures, we have plenty of solutions and possibilities. We simply need to start taking action.

Project Drawdown’s “Climate Solutions 101” is the ideal starting place for ideas of what to do, how, and why.

There are numerous small scale (and large scale) projects you can get involved in or even take on yourself: pollinator pathways offers a great urban example.

What’s crucial is that we have “collective impact”: that we’re working together, and working on behalf of all. So start your action by finding out what’s happening around you and in the places you care about. Near to SUNY Geneseo, you might start with the Genesee-Finger Lakes Climate Collective and the Genesee Valley Conservancy.
