One of the most important economic levers against Russia remained unused.
Oil and gas are a primary source of income for Russia.
And for the obscene wealth of its plutocrats.
Things you can do right now:
1. Turn your heat down to 64F.
It’s a bit chilly for some, but all it requires is an extra sweater.
If you live in warmer areas, don’t turn on the AC - it’s March for chrissakes.
2. Reduce your driving by 25%.
Combine trips. Carpool. Use public transportation. Get out there and walk or bicycle.
So, you are out of Keurig cups? Drink Folgers. Or bike to the store.
3. Skip the trip. Especially flying.
All of us want to travel, now that Covid is winding down. But stay closer to home.
Find that state park or riverside trail that just might be a gem on your doorstep.
Finally, contact you elected officials and tell them, very clearly -
“Embargo Russian oil and gas! We can compensate.”
Because we should.
* Not to mention that it will reduce your carbon footprint.
