There are so many ways to commit one civic act! To give you a flavor, here are a few things I’ve done over the past few years…
- Practiced citizen science by counting the river herring heading through a fish ladder
- Voted in elections for my City Council, with no state or federal positions at stake
- Bought carbon offsets to make-up for the environmental impact of my air travel
- Volunteered at my old high school to provide services to youth at risk
- Thanked my Congresswoman for coming to my neighborhood—and asked her to support democracy reforms
- Gave blood to the American Red Cross
- Testified before the Massachusetts Board of Building Regulations and Standards
- Wrote a letter to the Boston Globe on climate change denial
