As #LetTheEarthBreathe is trending, let's talk about things you can do for the climate if you're feeling hopeless or lost

Obviously we'll start with "install Ecosia": you don't have to make a massive change to your daily habits or feel guilty, but you can continue using the internet knowing that you're helping plant actual trees that benefit communities and the planet.

Don't go for any brand promising to plant a tree: check where they're planting the trees, with whom, what kind of trees, etc.

Get involved in your community. The local level can be the most motivating one, because you can see change happen and it feels like things are moving. You don't have to start something new - maybe there's a neighborhood program to finance solar panels, or a community garden.

Go to protests, sign petitions, pressure your politicians, and use your vote for politicians who are doing something about the climate! This takes time, and you won't always see immediate effects - but it works to shift priorities.

We recently made a video about climate anxiety that explains more about these different levels of climate action:

There are so many types of climate action we can all get involved in, and so many solutions already out there! Keep things moving and follow communicators like @alainamwood to fight climate doom ☀️
