[According to Bill Nye](https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/04/bill-nye-the-best-way-to-fight-climate-change-is-by-voting.html), the best thing you can do for climate change is to [vote](https://vote.gov); if you are already [voting in every election](https://www.environmentalvoter.org/sign-the-pledge), you can can jin a campaign to [get other who care about climate to vote](https://www.environmentalvoter.org/get-involved).

    I should definatly join a gym, I would probably join a gym if it were easy and required no effort.
