I am working with a neighborhood organization to improve tree canopy in my urban area. I got involved with my neighborhood association and another org in an effort to build and strengthen my community. I would love to take more action but I’m not sure what or how. Starting to see now that working together with people helps make us more resilient

I live near one of the Great Lakes (Michigan) and plan to continue to do so. They're an enormous source of fresh water and will be the least horrible place to survive the impending water scarcity implosion of our wasteful civilization. IIRC one climate change model predicted that the UP of Michigan will be the most comfortable place to live in the US in about 100 years so maybe I'll move up there eventually.

Its easy to recycle water with gravity filters, oddly. This needs to be taught and implemented more. Saves on reservours and waiting on rain. You can also collect used shower water and water the garden, plants etc with it, or filter that through a clay-pot to clean your car.
