๐ŸŒฑ Start Here: Welcome to Our Climate Action Community
Weโ€™re so glad youโ€™re here! Click on each post to see the full text! ๐ŸŒThis space is for people who care deeply about the climate crisis and want to move from confusion or overwhelm โ†’ to clarity, confidence, and meaningful action. ๐Ÿ”‘ What to Expect Next Hereโ€™s how to get the most from your first days in the community: 1. Complete the questionnaire so we know where youโ€™re starting from. (Click this link) 2. Introduce yourself in the Introductions space. 3. Explore the Roadmap post on the "About" page to see how our stages of growth work โ€” from ๐ŸŒฑ Seed learners to ๐ŸŒ Ecosystem change-makers. 4. Ask your first question in the Questions sectionโ€” it can be as simple as โ€œWhere should I start?โ€ 5. The answer to that is in the tab "Classroom" -> Level 0 The Backstory Then - start with course 0 - the Backstory - you will find it in the Classroom tab. Over time, youโ€™ll discover more resources below the course, see what others are doing, and share your own journey. And remember: every question you ask helps spark ideas and learning for everyone. This isnโ€™t about doing everything alone. Itโ€™s about building solutions together. ๐Ÿ’š Welcome aboard! โ€” Richard

๐Ÿ—‚ How Our Community Chat is Organised
Welcome! ๐ŸŒ To keep our conversations easy to follow, everything is organised into categories. Think of them like rooms in a house โ€” each with its own purpose. Hereโ€™s where to share: ๐ŸŒฑ Introductions This is where new members introduce themselves. Share a little about who you are, what stage youโ€™re at on the climate journey, and what brought you here. Weโ€™re excited to get to know you. ๐Ÿ’ฌ Questions Your space to ask anything about climate change, action, or this community. Big or small, simple or complex โ€” if youโ€™re wondering, others probably are too. When you see a question you can help with, jump in! ๐Ÿ™Œ Just remember: answers should be respectful and backed up with real data, links to established sources, or books whenever possible. Thatโ€™s how we build trust and reliable knowledge. ๐Ÿ“š Resources & Learning Have a great article, book, documentary, tool โ€” or even a person worth following (authors, bloggers, scientists)? Post it here. Add a note on why you found it valuable so others can benefit. ๐Ÿš€ Action & Wins Tell us what youโ€™ve done โ€” whether thatโ€™s signing a petition, changing your travel habits, having a conversation with a friend, or leading a local event. Every action, big or small, inspires others. ๐Ÿ”‘ Insights & Teachings Here youโ€™ll find posts that highlight key ideas, lessons, and myth-busting insights from our roadmap. These are reference points you can return to anytime. Feel free to add your reflections or experiences in the comments. ๐Ÿ“Š Solutions That Work This section is for detailed case studies and replicable projects that are moving the needle on the climate crisis. Please include data, outcomes, and steps so others can learn from and adapt whatโ€™s working. ๐ŸŒ Community Updates Announcements, events, challenges, and milestones live here. Check this space regularly to stay up to date with whatโ€™s happening in the community. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Donโ€™t overthink where your post belongs โ€” just do your best. The important thing is sharing, asking, and joining the conversation. ๐Ÿ’š

๐Ÿš€ Level 0 is Live: The Backstory Before we dive into the main course, Iโ€™ve released Lesson 0 โ€“ What Is Climate Change and Why Am I Teaching You About It? This first lesson lays the foundation. Weโ€™ll look at why itโ€™s been called global warming, climate change, and the climate crisis, and how human activity has pushed us off natureโ€™s rhythm. Through history, science, and personal stories, youโ€™ll discover where the problem began, why it matters right now, and why the future depends on the choices we make. Start here โ€” itโ€™s the story before the course.

Plastic wasn't always the problem.
There was a time when it represented progress. It meant making something once instead of cutting down another tree. It meant building products that lasted instead of replacing them every few months. That intention wasn't wrong. What changed was us. Somewhere along the way, we stopped seeing plastic as something worth keeping and it became something to throw away. That's a very different idea, which is why I don't think the answer is to clear the house of everything made from plastic. If you've got a bucket that's been in the shed for twenty years, it's doing exactly what it was designed to do. The bucket isn't the problem. Throwaway thinking is. That's one of the reasons I like the idea behind Plastic-Free July. Not because anyone needs to be perfect for a month, but because it creates a pause. A chance to notice how often convenience quietly wins, or how quickly we replace something that's still perfectly useful simply because replacing it has become normal. Once you notice those moments, they have a habit of staying with you. The next decision feels a little different, not because someone told you what to do, but because you've started seeing the choice in front of you. I believe most lasting change begins with that.
Plastic wasn't always the problem.

Welcome @Adam Nealis, who is based in Thailand. As Adam joins us I have been preparing focus groups within our local Green Party to work on key areas of the Climate Crisis at a local level. The idea is to translate global and national issues into local narratives. How are these huge events playing out, or going to play out, in our local communities? What actions can we take now as a political party, but also in collaboration with our fellow citizens, to start mitigating the worst effects and preparing for or adapting to effects that we cannot avoid? The energy in our local group is growing. The seemingly thankless task of political campaigning is made bearable by becoming more active and making these connections. The food in our town is 95% imported from elsewhere - we think. Now we start the work of determining the real number. The next step is working with local growers to increase the amount of food we produce for local consumption. To do that, we need to know who is already working on this and what help they need to make it happen. One example might be to get around 100 families to commit to buying produce from a local grower; this guarantees the grower's income and allows them to change how they farm. Making the variety of crops wider. The risk diminishes for the farmer, and clients/supporters know exactly how many "food miles" their food has travelled. Through this work, we learn more about the fragility of our food supplies and make changes to reduce the risk of food shortages. Our party members feel that at last they are doing more than making donations and voting once every few years - they can see the results. Now, when they vote, they have a better idea of who they are voting for. Even if we are not elected to office, we will have changed the outcome for our community.
