I will research and tell 1 people each day about the benefits of alternative energy sources like wind turbines, solar energy, geothermal energy, and methane digesters.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option. If my utility does not offer one, I will purchase Renewable Energy Credits to match my usage.

I will source 20 percent of my food from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.

I will spend 60 minute(s) learning about biochar and how it can help sequester carbon.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will volunteer 2 hours with a wetland restoration project in my region.

Data centers are a major global consumer of electricity, with some estimating that they account for 3% of electricity produced globally. These data centers continue to grow as more and more data needs to be stored. Sustainability experts are beginning to strategize on how to reduce the environmental impact of these essential data centers by reducing their size and increasing the renewable energy that powers them.

Solve Climate by 2030 is a global movement to solve Climate Change in the next decade through state-level and local-level action. Throughout Earth Month, the movement has organized 100 events around the world to educate and discuss climate problems and solutions. These events are a great way to learn more about local action on Climate Change!
