31 Days of Climate Action
31 Days of Climate Action
Dear Plant People,
On this earth day we ask you to join us in taking 31 days of climate action! Simple steps on a daily action can lead to big change across the board. Each day has an intention, an action, a reflection - the links will lead you to more resources where you can explore the actions of that day. My sister Solina made this resource last year, and I still find it to be very helpful.
The entire program can be found at 31daysofclimateaction.com
With Gratitude,
Gabe
