    Wow, earning these points is addicting! I am learning a lot about my communities efforts to reduce climate change, hope everyone is hanging in there ok.

    In what ways is your local community resilient to shock events like we’ve experienced recently? How could you help it become more resilient?

    My community is resilient in the sense that there are many people working in office jobs that are easily performed remotely in isolation. I can do my part to support the other businesses that are not able to operate fully in isolation by purchasing gift cards through their websites and ordering stuff for curb side pickup.

    Changing lightbulbs is an excellent first step toward energy efficiency! In what other ways can you exercise your civic duty to protect the environment and reduce carbon emissions?

    I can make sure appliances and lights are being turned off or unplugged when not in use.
