There seems to be more and more people saying we have to do more to clean up the pollution from our communities and to lessen the effects of a warming climate. But they don’t give any action items. So this is your action list for cleaner air for your kids & your community:
- Insulate your home & office with window film. By adding window film you will save money year after year with lower energy bills. Solar window film will block solar heat before it enters your home and office. It’s a great investment that pays you dividends year after year. And it enhances the look of you home and can eliminate hot spots, harmful UV & fading.
- Insulate your home better
And here is a complete action checklist that you can do to promote cleaner air in your community:
- Create a compost bin
- Plant a vegetable garden
- Buy local, seasonal produce
- Eat less meat
- Plant local trees & wildflowers
- Don’t use harmful pesticides
- Walk & bike more for errands
- Demand local utility offer 100% green power (renewable)
- Add solar power water heater
- Add rooftop solar power & energy storage (batteries)
- Buy an electric bike
- Buy an EV
- Demand schools convert to electric school buses. Toxic diesel exhaust pollution is bad for kids breathing
- Demand that your local community improves the air quality
- Support companies that go 100% renewable / green

As a nation, we need to utilize the tech that we have today & deploy the solutions:
- Deploy Solar Power
- Deploy Wind Power
- Deploy Energy Storage (batteries)
- Deploy Hydro Power
- Deploy Geo Thermal Power (TX Frackers, you have the tech to make money off this)
- Deploy Rooftop Solar
- Deploy EV fleets, Electric School Buses and Electric Trucks
- Plant Trees, Plant Forests, Expand Forests
