Our actions, collective and individual, matter. Let’s talk about the why…

Actions to live in better harmony with the earth don’t always have to be about metric tons of carbon reduced or how much carbon the nearest CEO is emitting compared to you (although don’t get us wrong- those things are VERY important!). 

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), comprehensive shifts in human behavior have the potential to reduce global emissions by up to 70% by 2050.

We need to reduce carbon emissions and contribute to cultural shift

You can take action and make change for the simple reason of aligning yourself with just and life-giving systems and make the world a more harmonious, equitable place! When your community sees changes that you have made, they are more likely to make those changes themselves leading to the changing of social norms in the direction of sustainability- your ripples are essential to a better future!

Individual action leads to communal action which leads to broader cultural shifts
