Changing the course of our planet’s health becomes more viable with each of our individual contributions.
Volunteering entails meeting about once a month with your group to brainstorm ideas and then researching or working on a certain task until the next meeting.

Other Ways to Help Out
- Shift the conversation. Share our website with your friends and family. Cultivate curiosity in the issues most pressing to the Earth. Most folks are unaware of basic environmental scientific principles. E.g. most people do not know why coral reefs are so critical to our survival. See this video for the long explanation and here for the short version. Discussions with friends raise questions, lead to personal research and the possibility of long-term, heart-felt transformation. Often, conversation precedes action.
- On-line (from the Center for International Environmental Law)
- Get involved and raise your voice for human rights and the environment.
- Hold Big Oil Accountable for Decades of Deception: Research shows that the oil industry understood the science of climate change and actively sought to shape skepticism towards climate regulation decades earlier than previously suspected. Call for investigation into what could be the largest, longest-lasting, and most dangerous case of corporate deceit in human history. ACT NOW.
- Tell World Leaders We Need Safe Masks: Despite concerns that masks containing nanographene may be harmful to human health, millions of these masks are being produced every day. Masks don’t need nanomaterials to be effective. Call on world leaders to follow Canada’s example and ban personal protective equipment (PPE) made with these potentially toxic materials. ACT NOW.
- Urge US Congress to Support the Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act: We know how harmful every stage of the plastic lifecycle is to people and the planet. But there’s hope: the Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act of 2021 is the first piece of federal legislation to take a full-lifecycle approach to tackling the plastic crisis. Call on your members of Congress to support this critical bill. ACT NOW.
- Financially support our organization and others.
- Our current goal is to fund 1/3 of our administrative budget with public donations, that is we match any donation 2 to 1. This is to comply with the organizational requirements in our jurisdiction. It includes our website, email, Zoom, and organizational filing fees. All of us volunteer our time.
- Our upcoming financial priority may be the planetary dashboard app, described above on the slide “Planetary Dashboard” and here. We are looking to produce it with grant funds or with free resources.
- Organizations for which we encourage donations include the Center for Democratic and Environmental Rights and the Indian Law Resource Center.
