We know that climate change is an unfortunate reality for our future, but maybe we can figure out how to live with the changes we can't stop, and fix the things we can. Humans, plants and animals are going to have to evolve to meet the challenges ahead. There are already ways we can do this, like re-seeding coral reefs. Maybe there's more! We want to help the organizations that are leading the way!
It has all the time in the universe to work things out, but humans need the earth's climate to remain close to how it is now.
...to change our habits, and develop new technologies before we pass the point of no return.
Efforts are underway all over the world to save species and lower our carbon footprint.
Humans are amazing but we need everyone to get involved, so join us in the effort to keep the earth beautiful!
You probably don't have time to hunt down illegal whaling operations and (let's face it) you're not going to develop a breakthrough carbon sequestering technology. You can recycle, and try to drive less but it's not enough. Change has to happen with governments, corporations and the way we consume. There's no shortage of great people trying to make these changes, but they need help and one of the best ways to help them is to donate money to their organizations. Yep...money; the greatest unnatural resource on the planet.
From lobbying governments to research and development funding is how things get done and every little bit helps.
Not everyone needs to fund an expedition to the antarctic to study melting sea ice, but everyone can donate a little bit, and if everyone does then we can make a difference.
$1 billion dollars was donated to rebuild Notre Dame Cathedral in just a few short weeks but nearly every organization devoted to slowing climate change struggles with funding. Where do your priorities lie?
The zoo is working hard to preserve our natural world. Covid forced them to limit funding for the important programs they support. Lets help them get back on their feet so they can keep making a difference!

We are a group of elementary school students who are looking forward to a bright future. We want our planet to not just remain livable, but provide all the opportunities that it has to past generations. All of us love the outdoors and we want to keep enjoying our time in nature. Help us make sure we have a climate that we can count on to provide the same safety and stability that our ancestors had!
