Face it. Climate change has happened. It’s no longer a future threat. We’re living with it today. Let’s just accept that and move forward. We have to survive an expanding range of weather extremes, an ever growing list of natural disasters, a steady drip of pandemic-prone viruses, and the economic impacts of skyrocketing energy and food costs. The environment is filled with new challenges but we can survive; even prosper. Climate is a big issue and it’s easy to get lost in all the jargon and abbreviations. Where do you even begin to address something this complex? Even if we don’t let it overwhelm us emotionally, it’s far too easy to spend all our time and money digging out of the last disaster instead of preparing for the next. There are clear, easy steps we can take to prepare for climate change; both the climate change that’s already here and the climate changes coming down the road. The first step is to break this big, complex problem down into manageable sections; each with a group of small, clear actions that are easily taken and, together, help us secure our health and safety, save money, and position us for a safe and prosperous future. The old adage, caveat emptor (buyers beware), applies to climate change as much as it does to used cars, and it’s our responsibility to beware of green-washing and to make personal choices that assure the health, safety and welfare of ourselves, our communities, our children and future generations. This Field Guide will help.
