Take Action

Find and join a community of people working on an aspect of climate change that is important to you. It could be activists, artists, educators, spiritual seekers, engineers, or entrepreneurs. Working in person, or on-line. Locally, nationally, or internationally. For immediate change, or for the long haul. What matters is connecting with others who understand the gravity of the situation and are working to make things better. This is an immense, multidimensional issue, and we need each other to find our way through.
