Iowa Climate Educators Emphasize Individual Actions

(Radio Iowa)

The 14th annual climate statement from dozens of Iowa scientists suggests it’s never been easier for individuals to help reduce carbon emissions. A spokesman for the Iowa Climate Educators group wanted to address the question they get asked more than any other, which is — What can I do about climate change? The group’s report cites rapidly improving technology that reduces carbon emissions as well as tax breaks for electric vehicles, solar power systems and more efficient appliances. Nearly 200 climate scientists from 32 Iowa colleges and universities signed the statement.
