In response to her letter to the editor, I asked my friend in an email: "Have you found a one page description of what solutions might be?"

She responded: 

Individuals can help by:  

• Using less electricity, natural gas, propane or heating oil.  All our utilities have suggestions of how we can help.                                              
  
• Switch to a renewable energy provider                                              
  
• Install solar panels, upgrade your gas furnace to a heat pump, put in extra insulation and fix drafts.                                              
  
• Carpool, consider a hybrid or all electric car, public transportation, walk, bike.                 
  
• Eat more vegetables, cut out or cut down on eating red meat                                           
  
• Reduce, Repair, Reuse and Recycle                                              
  
• Compost
• Lobby local politicians and businesses to support efforts to cut emissions
• Support research and organizations that can mobilize more people to find solutions
• Do what you can to become more aware of the problems that this warming of our climate is causing.
