      [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).

      According to grandfather of climate change, [NASA climatologist, and climate activist Dr. James Hansen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4DAW1A6Ca8), the most important thing an individual can do on climate change is to [volunteer with Citizens’ Climate Lobby](https://citizensclimatelobby.org/join-citizens-climate-lobby/).

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

      I’m never actually joining a gym because I haven’t for 10 years, even though I think about it.

      Realistically, you might turn that 2% into 4% with a lot of effort, but you’d struggle to get it higher than that.
