If you are ready to take action for the first time or want to expand your range of activities, here are some resources to get you moving. As you engage and take new steps, remember that talking with others about your new connections and accomplishments will bolster your efforts and help create a wider culture that supports tackling the climate crisis.

Learn the Basics

If you would like to learn the fundamentals about the science of global warming, here are a few highly respected resources.

Climate Change 101, National Center for Science Educationhttps://ncse.ngo/climate-change-101

Decarbonize Your Home and Workplace

There are three ways to approach reducing your carbon footprint. The simplest is to follow a step-by-step action guide. This approach will get you started with a minimum of effort. Since you will not be measuring your carbon emissions, the best way to track progress is by reductions in your monthly bills for electricity, natural gas, water and gasoline or diesel.

The second approach is to estimate your carbon footprint based on average households or organizations that are similar to yours. Using this type of calculator takes a little more effort, but it will help you see where to focus your actions in order to get the biggest results. Several reputable carbon offset organizations provide simple online calculators. Here are two calculators that were developed by government agencies.

Cool California, a product of the California Air Resources Board, has calculators for households, small businesses, government agencies and schoolshttps://coolcalifornia.arb.ca.gov

The third and most detailed approach is to have your emissions measured and verified by a third party. The advantage is that the information will be much more precise, but there will be costs and much more legwork involved. Businesses, especially larger corporations, and governments tend to rely on third party measurement and verification by companies that offer this service. Here is a highly regarded nonprofit alternative.

Join or Support a Climate Justice Organization

A quick online search will reveal many nonprofit organizations and networks that work on climate and environmental justice. Consider supporting an organization in the town, city or rural area where you live. Here are a few nationwide organizations to consider as well.

National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)www.naacp.org/environmental-climate-justice-about

Indigenous Environmental Networkwww.ienearth.org

Climate Justice Resilience Fund, an international organization that funds community-led resilience solutionswww.cjrfund.org

Engage in Shared Learning or Activism

As with climate justice organizations, you can find a large number of organizations and networks online that approach the climate crisis from many different directions. Some organizations focus on legal action, others on political activism, while others build support for volunteer involvement in local neighborhoods and communities. Here are two of many large-scale movements.

Sunrise Movement, a youth initiative for climate actionwww.sunrisemovement.org

350.org, a global movement for climate actionhttps://350.org

Business and Professional Action on Climate Change

The range of business networks, trade associations, and professional networks that provide advice and sustainability certifications is as diverse as the economy itself. Look within your industry and its trade associations and movements, and also within your state or local community where sustainability-minded businesses often form networks. Here are three nationwide examples that serve diverse industries and markets.

B Corporation Certificationhttps://bcorporation.net

Green Business Networkwww.greenamerica.org

Sustainable Brandshttps://sustainablebrands.com

Climate Education

Educators working in K-12, community colleges, higher education and informal education share resources and promote climate curriculum through informal networks.

Climate Education, Communication & Outreach Stakeholder Community (ClimateECOS) is an international network of climate educators and communicatorshttps://climateecos.org

Follow and Participate in the U.S. ACE National Strategic Planning Framework
