What area of climate action are you most passionate about and why?
Jeffrey Avansino 4/15/2022 11:11 AM
I am most interested in ocean conservancy, especially as it relates to over fishing. Ever since I was a kid I have loved and been fascinated by the ocean. Over fishing has the ability to destroy ecosystem which can have long term deleterious effects on our environment.

Jeffrey Avansino 4/12/2022 11:45 AM
I have a gas stove at home and have been using an induction stove this week which has worked great. I didn't realize the issues with using natural gas. We probably consume quite a bit with cooking and with gas fire places. Maybe can be more limited with use.
