The world’s largest environmental movement is turning 50 today! And, according to www.earthday.org: “International bodies of scientists have warned that we have just over a decade to halve our emissions to avoid the most devastating impacts of climate change on our food supply, national security, global health, extreme weather, and more.”

• RECOGNIZING how climate change is negatively impacting our world.

• UNDERSTANDING our role in creating this global crisis and what we need to do to fix it.

• MOBILIZING efforts into direct action. In other words…DO SOMETHING! 

1. Travel Smarter. Travel by car and airplane less. Try public transit or biking, walking or use video and teleconferencing applications whenever possible, instead of traveling to meet in person. Better yet, work from home and take a “car-free” day or two each week if you can. No matter where you live, travelling by car or airplane contributes heavily to our shared carbon footprint. Think about it…transportation is now the largest source of carbon emissions in the United States! 
    
2. Waste Less Food. Food waste is an enormous ‘hidden’ contributor to climate change—making it the third largest greenhouse gas emitter behind China and the U.S. How so? Well, tossing still-edible food into the trash puts the garbage in our landfills where it generates methane as it breaks down. 
    
3. Practice R&R…Reuse & Recycle. It’s simple…reuse and recycle everything you possibly can because we don’t do nearly enough of this globally! A recent study found that of the 6.3 billion metric tons of plastic waste that has been produced, only 9% of that plastic waste had been recycled. Instadose® wearers can tick this box because, thanks to wireless dose reads and online reports, Instadose dosimeter’s product carbon footprint is dramatically lower than traditional TLD (Thermoluminescent Dosimeters) and OSL (Optically Stimulated Luminescence) badges. Still wearing a TLD or OSL badge?
