Transportation

Test Drive an Electric Bike

Electric Bicycles

I will test drive an electric bike at a local distributor to see if it makes sense to use one in place of my car, or to extend the area I can cover by bike.

UNCOMPLETED
ONE-TIME ACTION

Food, Agriculture, and Land Use

Support Local Food Systems

Plant-Rich Diets

I will source 50 percent of my food from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.

GENESIS CANO ALVAREZ 4/05/2025 1:52 PM
I am here because I have firsthand experience with the impacts of climate change and want to continue to educate myself and dive deeper into the different ways climate change affects me individually and our collective shared experiences. I grew up in a coastal beach city in Mexico, surrounded by plants and animals. I have memories of helping out in my grandmother’s garden in my childhood home and feeding her many pets, which ranged from cats and dogs to parakeets and iguanas. I believe that my early life experiences and connection to nature are the reasons I am here today. I am concerned about the way climate change affects specific demographics and groups of people in contrast to others, and I am concerned about the preservation of natural resources and environmental conditions. To this day, I still enjoy the art of gardening and have slowly created my own garden at my home in Pasadena. I want to continue to explore the different arts of nature when I get older, travel, and experience the beauty of nature. But most importantly, I want to continue to develop my understanding of climate change and learn how to think critically about the issues right in front of me before we reach a point of no return.
