Take Individual Action
- The top three most impactful individual actions to reduce carbon footprint are to choose a plant-based diet, to fly infrequently, and to make energy efficiency improvements to the home. Learn more about individual actions from Lincoln’s Green Energy Committee and CFREE subcommittee.
Get Outside
- Pick up litter, where it is safe to do so
- Plant a tree (or any native plant) in your garden. Check out garden for biodiversity and climate change tips here.
