Creating A Power-Friendly Home

If you are in support of the Green New Deal and measures to fight climate change in general, then starting a blog is a good way to spread the word and helps others learn how they, too, can make changes to preserve the environment. But if your blog focuses just on the politics behind climate change and the Green New Deal, it will become dry rather quickly — and may turn off readers looking for more actionable pieces and advice. As such, in addition to political posts, there are three other kinds of articles you should include on your blog.

1. Tips for Everyday Lifestyle Changes

Not everyone has time to be a political activist or the money to completely renovate their home with the most eco-friendly equipment. But most people have the ability to make a few small, but impactful changes in the ways they live their daily lives. Articles about how to reduce one's environmental impact when showering, cooking, doing laundry, and cleaning will always attract a big audience because almost anyone can relate to them. The tips you offer in this type of article should be specific and actionable. For example, you could recommend readers switch to biodegradable toothbrushes, buy food in glass containers rather than plastic, or use vinegar for cleaning rather than less eco-friendly options.

2. Information About Products

Some of your readers will have a bit more to invest in an appliance like a water-saving dishwasher, solar-powered heater, or other device. For these readers, articles that offer a review of specific products will come in really handy. You could also write articles that review three different types of water-efficient dishwashers, solar-heaters, and so forth. Ask readers who own these products to submit their reviews so you have a reliable source of information.

3. Biographies of Activists

Another type of article to include is biographies of various activists. For example, if someone in your home town recently convinced the board to recycle a type of plastic the town did not recycle before, you could do a write-up about that person's life and work. These articles can serve as inspiration to your readers who are also hoping to do their own activism for climate change legislation.

The key to a successful Green New Deal advocate blog about climate change activism is variety. Try to post several articles per week, each with a different approach or angle, to attract a vast audience and hold their attention.
