Action on climate change - John Abbe's Decko

Develop your personal relationship with the rest of the natural world, especially where you live:

Join, promote, and create local, gifting, and sharing economics:

Make sure that natural wealth is incorporated into National Accounting Systems (read http://imipono.org/2013/07/29/rewriting-economic-history/ )

Establish & act on our common property rights / rights of nature:

Mobilize mass movements capable of direct action to block increases in greenhouse gas emissions and related problems, (e.g., opposition to Keystone XL and the Trans-Pacific Partnership), support GHG reductions (e.g. conservation, speedup of renewable energy development, dismantling of existing fossil fuel infrastructure)

Know your carbon footprint and take action to reduce it: http://coolclimate.berkeley.edu/carboncalculator:

"This tool enables individuals or households in the U.S. to calculate their carbon footprints to get personalized advice on managing their personal impact. Our Take Action page recommends customized pledges to reduce carbon footprints and save money. Users can also see how they compare to households of similar size, location and income, or compare themselves to state, national and global averages. The carbon footprints and comparisons in this version utilize data and calculations that are the most detailed, robust and up-to-date available. Additionally, this version features community support tools which allow users to register on the site, save their footprint and pledges to a profile, and join or create custom groups."

They also have an API: https://developer.berkeley.edu/apidocs/coolclimate

Contact your government representatives, the CEOs of companies, and other people in positions of power who could be doing better. You can decide what exactly you want to advocate, one small suggestion for Congress people is to get more of them to join the Safe Climate Caucus (House) and the Bicameral Task Force on Climate Change, and a few more ideas are below. (I've gathered mostly just U.S. information so far, will try to add more, please offer your suggestions at the end of this page.)

Learn (more) about Permaculture

Create and recreate physical and virtual public spaces in which people have real conversations across the full spectrum of people's perspectives in ways that lead to mutual understanding and collective action. Relatedly, transform government such that the general population is in the position of power we should have in a democracy.

Get governments to regulate/tax greenhouse gas emissions, and subsidize renewable energy sources. E.g.:

http://gofossilfree.org/ — Get schools, cities, etc. to divest. Many people argue that this will not affect them enough economically, but it is in any case valuable to shift attitudes about fossil fuel companies, given their radical unsustainability — ecologically and thus economically!

Relocalize food and shift eating habits:

Reduce / Reuse / Recycle = 1) Don't get it. 2) If you're going to get it, see if you can get a used one. 3) Buy one made from recycled materials, and which itself can be recycled - use http://www.craigslist.org/ and http://www.freecycle.org/
Classic list of questions:
1) Do we really need it?
2) Is it the most durable and reusable available?
3) Is it the smallest, simplest, and most energy efficient?
4) Is it biodegradable?
5) Does it promote social and environmental harmony?

Have fewer (no?) biological kids if you were planning to have them.

Upgrade your house to save energy (Passive house is the lowest-energy set of standards/practices for buildings from what I've researched)):
