Do we think it's possible to boycott carbon?

Yes.

Do we think it's going to be easy?

No.

In his book, Sam gives several examples of times throughout human history that we've made huge societal changes for the betterment of our society - from the  Boston tea party to the civil rights movement to the end of apartheid.

We ARE capable of the type of boycott that this book calls for.

The carbon boycott is a slow, steady change that we are dedicated to. That we need to work on together individually and in communities.

Because the truth is that the availability of fossil fuels is dwindling.

That means we need to think about the energy issue as "renewable energy VS. no energy." NOT "renewable energy VS. fossil fuel energy."

And the more we transition now, the easier it will be when we don't have fossil fuels anymore.

So how can you take part in the boycott?

1 - Eat less meat. This isn't to say that tomorrow you need to be vegan, but meat production is a massive source of carbon in our atmosphere.

2 - Consider how your other meals make it to you - are they locally sourced? Are they coming from far away? How are they packaged? What can you grow yourself?

3 - Look at your investments. Trace them back to their source, are you supporting the fossil fuel giants? Stop those investments and shift them to a renewable source.

4 - Look into the potential energy sources. Can you pay for your house to be supplied by solar or wind energy? Can you buy solar panels for your house?

5 - Join or create a community that is dedicated to helping with policy change or community/city migration to renewable energy.

6 - Make the big transitions when you're making big life changes. When you get a new car, go for electric. When you move or renovate your house, consider heat pumps and solar energy.
