You can:

*Book a climate change presentation for your community group, church or book club, etc. Climate Reality has trained over 6000 people globally do to a training that could range from 30 minutes to 90 minutes - you tell them what the time period is. Find a presenter or an existing climate presentation here: http://presenters.climaterealityproject.org/presentation_search

*Call your representatives weekly to tell them this is important to you. That this subject concerns you and ask them what they are doing about it. Even if they disagree, or deny this is happening, they do keep track of calls, emails, letters.

*Talk to your town or city about the sustainability measures they have put into place. If they don't have them, ask why not?

*Ask your college, your church, your community group to divest from fossil fuels. If you have funds invested in fossil fuels - divest!

*Join others who are working to make a difference! – Climate Reality Project, 350.org, Peaceful Uprising, Sierra Club are only a few.

Get involved!

Read up on this!

Don't let people say it's not happening anymore!

Make some noise!

We need to work together to fix this!
