A powerful reminder that the most effective way we as individuals can help with the rapidly mounting fresh water crisis is to eat less red meat. A single hamburger patty requires 660 gallons of water! https://youtu.be/XusyNT_k-1c?si=V6_mhqZFZQVtidaQ

Keep Your Home Cool without power or air conditioning - A thread 🧵

With increased #ExtremeWeather events and more #ClimateChaos , how do you stay cool without using power or air conditioning?

A 🧵 , working from outside to in -

1. 🌳 Plant trees. Trees create shade and reduce the ambient temperature around your home. Plant trees in appropriate spots where they won't dig into your foundation. This may take some forethought and planning but also helps the planet. Chat with a local arborist about the best types for your region. #PlantMoreTrees
