Help a local species struggling with climate change
Climate change isn’t coming. It’s already here and already damaging the habitats of beautiful species near you. So contact your local US Fish and Wildlife Service or your local Nature Conservancy to find out which animals and plants are struggling in your area and how you can help. You’ll be helping all of us humans too because everything on planet earth is inter-connected.
Interview Adults!
One of the best ways to help with climate change is just to talk about it! Ask your an older family member or guardian about weather and climate. Here is a sample questioniarre. Did the conversation surprise you - or them - in any way?
Host a Sky Show and help with climate change
This idea from teachers Diane and Stephanie. Their students saw the sky photos sent in to Sky Day Project by a school in Puerto Rico just before they were hit by Hurricane Maria. They wanted to help so they painted sky paintings, exhibited them and then sold them to family and friends to raise money for that school. To which we say - Bravo! Why not do something similar yourself and donate the funds you raise to a worthy climate helping cause like donating to a carbon offsetting charity? The sky’s the limit to what you can do to help!
Plant a Tree
(Better yet, plant two)
It sounds so simple doesn’t it? And maybe you’ve heard it before? But the fact remains, if you really want to help counter the effects of all that carbon dioxide in the air then plant a tree or two for Sky Day. Trees can remove as much as 48 pounds of carbon dioxide from the air each year. Learn more.
