To all, because governments have mostly failed us on quick action I created a climate pledge. It is open to feedback but I think starting with individual commitments and sustainable lifestyles will help us move society forward as a whole.<p>Governments are not moving quickly enough on climate change with small incremental changes over time. However, people and organizations who champion these efforts can pressure governments to drive faster change.<p>Climate Pledge<p>To protect humanity now and for the future of our posterity I am committing to the following.<p>- I pledge to limit eating red meat. I will restrict intake of cows and lambs etc.<p>- If I choose to have children, I will have 2 or less.<p>- I will try to use cycling or mass transit options whenever possible and to participate in efforts to expand transit.<p>- I will restrict flying to only when necessary and try to limit flying to only when no other choice is available. If I do fly I will try to offset all emissions.<p>- I will try my utmost to conserve energy and minimize use of heating and cooling appliances.<p>- I will try my best to limit energy use to renewable sources when I have the choice. When I cannot choose I will fight for the ability to have this choice.<p>- I will try to help those close to me understand these choices and the need for those able, to also join the pledge.<p>- I will only consume what I need. I will not perpetuate extravagance and will only support companies who champion sustainable efforts.<p>- I will do my best to strive for and support sustainable and minimalist technology.<p>- I will stay involved in the public discourse on environmental issues and stay engaged on efforts to mitigate climate change.
