Humans are causing climate change And that means we humans can change our trajectory. While governments and businesses play a key role in reducing planet-warming emissions, individual action is also important. Many solutions may seem overwhelming or far beyond what one person can solve (aside from the everyday challenges of life). Within the NPR network, we reported on individual actions that can have a positive impact and what you need to do to get started. We've rounded up a bunch here. Some require a bit of planning (think replacing major appliances), while others might mean a little less work over the weekend (like skipping raking leaves this fall). (NPR Network)
