It's difficult to stay abreast of all of the things that our federal and state governements and big business are doing as it relates to climate action (or inaction), and find a way to make your voice heard.  I have found a great tool that makes it easy to identify issues that are of importance to me and  amplify my voice. It's called Climate Action Now and it is an offshoot of Al Gore's Climate Reality Project.

You can simply download a free app to your iphone or android and access it when you have a few minutes to learn about up to the minute legislative decisions and important current events that are taking place. You can select which ones you want to weigh in on, and the app will give you options as to how can contact the person or organization (email, phone call, text, tweet) and lead you right to it. It's as easy as a few clicks for you to make your voice heard. I keep it on the front page of my phone apps and try to visit every day. 

Climate Action Now will encourage you to take 5 actions each day, but there is NO PRESSURE. To top it off, you earn points for each action taken that add up to have a real tree planted by Eden Restoration Project.  Go for it!
