What Can I Do About Climate Change?

UC Davis has launched a new blog featured on its Science & Climate website called “What Can I Do About Climate Change?” centered on actions, big and small, individuals can take in their lives to address climate change.

“What Can I Do About Climate Change?” is geared to individuals and how we can all make a difference, including topics such as telecommuting, fire control, food waste, and bicycling. Topics will continue to be added, including plant-focused actions.

Science & Climate Website

The main Science & Climate website covers Science, Impacts, and Solutions.
