It is Earth Day, so we will be treated to numerous lectures about things politicians must do to save the planet. A study last year, however, found that those skeptical of climate change (generally on the right), do more for the environment in their day to day life. Here are four things people can do to help the environment no matter what day it is.

1) Go hunting

Thanks to hunters, Washington state will receive more than $12 million for wildlife habitat in 2019 through a program called Pittman-Robertson. Hunters pay a small fee on hunting rifles and ammunition that goes to preserve wildlife habitat and hunting opportunities for the future. Every year, Washington state gets a share of those revenues. So, go hunting. It’s good for the environment.

2) Buy a smart thermostat

A decade ago, Barack Obama announced billions of dollars to fund the installation of smart electricity meters, promising they would, “help you manage your electricity use and your budget at the same time, allowing you to conserve electricity during times when prices are highest.” It hasn’t worked out that way. Instead, private innovation in the form of smart thermostats like Nest and Ecobee have leapfrogged government efforts and are more effective at helping people save energy and money. Portland General Electric found that people using Nest were more effective at reducing peak energy demand than homes with smart meters.

3) Live your values before imposing them on others

Washington state is set to adopt a 100% renewable energy mandate. Many of the politicians pushing that requirement, however, don’t live the values they proclaim. Every Washington resident can already buy renewable energy by purchasing renewable energy credits (RECs), ensuring there is enough renewable energy on the grid to cover their use. Homeowners can pay between $4 and $10 a month to cover the additional cost of renewables. It makes little sense to carry signs at the Earth Day march on Monday and demand everyone else be 100% renewable, and then go home to a house heated by fossil fuels.

4) Use car sharing

If you need a car for an hour, you can find a Car2Go parked near you on their app, unlock it with your phone and be on your way. A study by Cal Berkeley found that car sharing not only gives people without cars more freedom, it allows them to avoid buying a car at all, which saves gas. “Our exhaustive, three-year research effort into one-way carsharing reveals that car2go vehicles result in fewer privately-owned vehicles on the road, fewer vehicle miles traveled and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions,” the researchers reported. This option is only available in Seattle, to be sure, but it is an option that gives people the ability to reduce CO2 emissions in a way that fits their lifestyle.
