By leveraging this tool, you can actively contribute to building a sustainable future in your community. Explore the Tool and make a difference today!
Additionally, faith communities are making waves in climate action. Faith Alliance for Climate Solutions (FACS), a finalist in ecoAmerica’s 2024 American Climate Leadership Awards, exemplifies how grassroots advocacy can unite over 220 faith communities to combat climate change. Their efforts are a testament to the power of faith in driving local solutions, and their story offers inspiration for others looking to replicate similar actions in their own communities. Get to Know FACS.
In the realm of youth advocacy, Hopewell Valley Central High School stands out as a student finalist in the same awards program. Their Youth Environmental Society is focused on educating peers about the mental health impacts of climate change, a topic that is increasingly relevant. Their initiative highlights the importance of integrating mental health awareness into climate education, providing a model for other schools to follow. Learn More.
