If you're an educator, pique your students' interest in clean energy by exploring micro wind turbine technologies. Encourage them to imagine ways to make it better—perhaps someday they will!

Bring micro wind turbine technology to the attention of a nonprofit organization or development agency that could help advance its application in appropriate circumstances.

Access to the clean and affordable energy micro wind turbines provide supports education, health care, agriculture, and small businesses. 

Deploying this climate solution stimulates local economies and creates employment opportunities. The installation, operation, and maintenance of renewable energy systems require skilled labor, creating jobs and contributing to economic growth.

Shifting to clean and renewable energy sources reduces indoor and outdoor air pollution, which is a significant health concern in many developing countries. By replacing traditional fuels like wood and coal with cleaner alternatives improves air quality, reducing respiratory illnesses and related health issues.

In developing countries, this solution expands access to modern and reliable energy services, enabling communities to meet basic energy needs such as lighting, cooking, heating, and powering essential services like health-care facilities and schools.

Help your public utilities commission to consider solar PV as an alternative to fossil fuels.

Encourage your workplace to help meet its electricity needs with photovoltaics by supporting a solar garden or farm.

Arrange to have a solar energy expert speak at a local library, community center, or service organization or faith community gathering.

Install solar panels on your home if it's suitable—subscribe to a solar farm or garden if not.

Encourage a young person in your life to do school project exploring the pros and cons of various forms of solar power.

Learn about a concentrated solar project and share what you learn with a friend, neighbor, or colleague.

A concentrated solar facility is less expensive than a new coal-fired power plant. 

If your school district, campus, or local government is planning new construction, create a coalition of local residents to promote the incorporation of energy efficiency and renewable energy features.

Find a building in your community that includes energy efficiency or on-site renewable energy features and shine a light on it through social media or with a letter to the editor.

Net zero buildings reduce energy bills.

Schedule an energy audit for your home and follow up on recommendations.

Help connect organizations and agencies serving low-income individuals and families in your community with sources of subsidies for energy efficiency upgrades.

Make sure your local water utility has and uses pressure management and leak detection infrastructure.

Share information on the climate change mitigation value of water system leak detection through your social media.

Efficient water distribution conserves freshwater resources, reducing the strain on water supplies and promoting sustainability.

Add low-flow fixtures to your water taps and shower heads.

Share this drawdown solution with two friends or colleagues.

Low-flow fixtures conserve freshwater resources, reducing the strain on water supplies and promoting sustainability.

By reducing the amount of water used and heated, they also can lower utility bills.

If you live in a sunny climate, consider installing a solar water heater at your home or place of business.

If you're a teacher, introduce your students to the many ways we capture and use the sun's energy—and encourage them to dream up even more. 

Solar hot water helps reduce energy bills.

Consider upgrading your home’s heating and/or cooling system to a high-efficiency heat pump.

If your company is adding infrastructure, encourage those in charge of planning it to consider a heat pump alternative to conventional HVAC.

High-efficiency heat pumps save energy by efficiently transferring heat, thereby lowering energy bills.

Heat pumps also can improve air quality by reducing the use of fuels such as wood, propane, and oil that emit particulate matter and black carbon when burned.
