TAKE ACTION
The climate crisis requires a global response. We invite choirs and all forms of singing groups from any and all countries to join our campaign. This is a fun, rewarding, no cost, non-partisan Campaign, bringing together young voices to promote awareness of the climate crisis and inspire action. No experience or special equipment is required. This is a unique opportunity to be part of a professional recording and video side-by-side with established artists.
There are many ways each of us can make a difference. Teaming up with a local organization is a great way to get engaged.
Here are three critical areas for addressing the climate crisis:
- 1) Civic engagement at the local and national levels (in the US, this includes registering voters including young people. Headcount provides tools for US voter registration drives};
- 2) Electrification and reduction of fossil fuels in homes, schools and other community facilities. (Rewiring America has useful information and guidance, and for US residents they have a fantastic, easy tool that informs folks about the financial incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act); and
- 3) Improve climate change education in schools and informal learning environments (check out the following websites for great information:Climate Science ,the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication), The Climate Action Project and National Environmental Education Foundation’s Climate Superstars)
