All of our daily activities and choices, from the food we eat, to the way we transport ourselves, can contribute to this big and complex issue called Climate Change. Have no fear, though, we’re here to help you understand it and show you exactly how you can take action to make a real, positive impact on your community and your world. Below you will find resources we have collected as we host events discussing climate change and how Alaskans can take action. If you have a suggestion for something we should include, please let us know.
