The Rotary Club of Los Altos (California) Climate Action Team created the 100,000 Actions pledge.
- It touches on several planet challenges. The goal is to grow awareness on how personal action can change the world. The list is simple by design, from start small to go big, no cost, low cost or “to be determined” – on this list, you get credit for ‘planning’ because planning means you have big plans!
- Click to view the list and sign yourself up! Check all that applies…two minutes tops! Overachievers welcome! Aim to complete actions by June 6th.
People can’t take the pledge unless they know about it. Please share this message. Involve everyone…other people, clubs and community groups such as Kiwanis, youth organizations, high school green teams and beyond.
Together we can achieve 100,000 Actions!
