Personal Climate Action Center
The Personal Climate Action Center
Welcome to the Personal Climate Action Center. Our mission is to inspire you to take personal action to make a difference and to feel better about your impact on the planet. Studies show that when people take constructive action, anxiety over climate change diminishes. Therapy for the planet and better for your mental health? Sign me up!
We have spent time researching the incredible work of other companies and organizations and put it all in one place. Our hope is to simplify the research for you, and to serve as a one-stop shop you can trust to help you achieve the goals you set. There is so much information out there, it can be overwhelming and paralyze you into taking no action at all, while instantly creating more anxiety about the threat of climate change, so we hope to make it easier for you. Are you ready to learn your impact, take action to lower your impact, and find support for yourself on this journey? Then let’s get started!
