As this rollercoaster year draws to a close, we’re reflecting back on the progress we’ve made together in this movement. But it’s also a good time to start thinking about our intentions for the year ahead. Many of us like to set New Year’s resolutions for self improvement but how about adding one or two for improving all life on this planet?
Here’s some suggestions from the 350 team for resolutions that can make a big difference. Choose one or two that you feel you can do:
- 👩👩👧 I will encourage my family and friends to become climate activists in their own way by talking to them about why we all need to join the fight to stop the climate crisis
- ✊ I will join an active local group or set up a new group to take climate action in my community.
- 👛 I will become a sustainer of the climate movement by making a monthly donation.
- 📚 I will take some 350 trainings and read the Climate Resistance Handbook to increase my skills and knowledge so I can better support the climate movement.
Whatever you decide to do, be sure to create a plan for how and when you’ll do it. Sharing your commitment on social media along with a link to this post can encourage others to join you. Use #ClimateResolution on any social media channel to connect with others doing the same and feel free to use the hashtag to suggest other resolutions for the resistance. Let’s support each other!
