Need even more ideas? The "Eight Rs" can be a source of inspiration as we go about our daily lives:
1. Refuse, 2. Reduce, 3. Reuse, 4. Repurpose, 5. Repair, 6. Rot/Compost, 7. Recycle, and 8. Remove.
Pinned, highest-impact idea if you only have time for one:
Of all the actions on this page, this one travels furthest: read about the four Advocacy Ideas, then send your representative a letter using the downloadable template. It takes about five minutes - and a letter from a constituent carries real weight.
If you do, please let us know through your daily Atlas contribution: click one of the Advocacy boxes and use the text field to tell us who you wrote to and where you're writing from. We'll add it anonymously to the Your Ideas page, where a clearer picture of who is acting, and where, is slowly coming into focus - and where every letter helps make the case that this matters to people everywhere.
