WORK TOGETHER TO SAVE OUR PLANET
TALK TO PEOPLE - Many people care about the climate and the destruction of our earth but don’t feel others do!
FIND COMMONALITY - Connect on values we share, such as, wanting a livable future for our kids and grandkids, loving nature, improving our economy, ethical or spiritual values.
When we relate on issues we have in common, we can begin to work together.
JOIN SOMETHING - We need a mass movement to change the system! Find a group that feeds your spirit and connects you to an affinity group of like-minded folks.
SPEAK OUT - Phone, email, meet to share your views with elected officials and media. (Even if your representatives already support your views, your letters and phone calls strengthen their position to fight for your beliefs.)
DONATE - Support good causes.
PARTICIPATE - Engage in public actions, target your pension, banking, investing, and insurance companies that support fossil fuels, pressure corporations to divest from dirty energy and invest in renewables, and challenge policymakers.
