If you’re wondering what you can do to help push against climate change above and beyond reducing your carbon footprint and paying attention to your consumption and waste habits better there’s one easy answer: Get involved.

There are many local, grassroots movements happening at a community level around the world to help rally politicians to do the right thing for the planet. You can also just call your legislators yourself and put in your two cents on the matter.

It’s also more important than ever to research what your leaders’ stance is on the various laws and regulations going forward. As we’ve covered before, fighting climate change isn’t just personal choices. It’s important that changes are made at every level.
