To restore Hashem’s beautiful Earth back to a stable, Gan Eden-like condition, we must act on all levels. International, national, and regional changes are necessary. Yet even as those political and legal efforts continue, we must act as individuals as well. In fact, scientists emphasize that some of the most powerful actions needed to curtail the current environmental trajectory must occur one kitchen, one family, and one community at a time. Here are a few things each of us can do:
Reduce red meat consumption – and increase fruit and vegetable consumption.
Switch to a renewable electricity supplier.
Reduce travel miles powered by oil and gas.
Support sustainable reforestation.
