    I really believe this is the kind of action every one of us can work on.

    • do the research to find out who the bad fossil actors in your $ spend are

    • find an alternative (or stop the spend)

    Forcing the $$ to dry up is the only action bad actors understand (other than effective legislation & enforcement, which I do not believe is ever likely in most jurisdictions).

    Banks and ICE cars are obviously big sources of $$s going to fossil actors, followed I would guess by grid electricity in most jurisdictions. All of which (in theory at least) are under our very own control.

      Home heating is often a big one.

      People also recommend that people who aren’t subsistence hunters in the arctic reduce or eliminate animal products in their diet because it makes a meaningful difference and doesn’t require a large capital expenditure.
