A great breakdown of concrete actions, sorted by time commitment (all the way from 5 minutes up to "I want to go to Italy and train with Al Gore").

I saw no actions on that page. Then I dragged my cursor across the page and highlighting revealed they are using white text on a white background. I guess they did not consider that environmentalists might have images disabled in their browser.

Support Farmers and A More Resilient Food System

They are quite vague. One of the problems is livestock farmers are getting subsidies. They should be getting less support, not more. It’s unclear if this 2024 Farm Bill separates livestock farmers from the others.

Tell the World Bank to Stop Funding Fossil Fuels

Agreed. Though it’s a shame the action stops there. The advice should be to use cash as much as possible and to avoid these banks in particular.
