Step Up, Connect, Transform

Now that you have followed the steps in the previous chapters to lower your personal share of global warming emissions by 20 percent or more, what else can you do? You may be inspired to go further toward carbon neutrality. If so, we salute your efforts. But one of the most important contributions you can make is also to step up, connect with others, and share the knowledge and experience you’ve gained. After all, your efforts are vitally needed. You now have the tools to help others make more effective climate choices, too. Only by passing along the know-how and working with others in our communities can Americans make the really substantial and necessary reductions in emissions to forestall the worst of global warming.
