“What can we do?” We are not climate scientists, so other than reducing our own carbon footprint, what else can we do? This document is all about sharing with others the following links and follow up ideas that will empower people to take action.
Watch the following video clips to get started. In less than 25 minutes you will have a better idea about why and how to advocate for the planet.

Taking Action…
- Use a Carbon Tracker: BrightAction has developed a tool for groups to track their members’ carbon footprint. Organizations can set up an account by going to www.brightaction.app. Your individual members can set up their accounts (under your organization’s banner) and track their personal carbon footprint.
- Get into Action: Find an “accountability buddy” so you can get into action together, if you wish. Look at the many categories of action on www.drawdown.org and make a list of issues that interest you. Then Google these words to find local, regional or national organizations to find out how you can contribute to their efforts.
- Spread Awareness: The primary thing we ALL can do is spread AWARENESS… Send this document or link to your friends, family, and groups to which you belong. Be open to speaking to groups and use this document as a template for taking action. Teach these steps to others and encourage them to do the same thing. Include your name; phone # and email address when you are organizing others.
