Launched in April 2021, the nonprofit OneGreenThing tackles climate crisis anxiety and overwhelm through joyful daily action, leading to culture change for climate solutions. Where do you start if you want to be part of the climate movement or simply want to work toward a healthier, greener, more equitable future? How do you deal with the anxiety about the state of our world and our shared future? When you realize that the threat of global warming is so big, how do you begin to cope and move forward? Start here. Join our community. Take action daily. One person cannot solve the climate crisis, but one person can make a difference. One day at time, one green thing at time. Our theory of change is simple. OneGreenThing inspires a daily practice of sustainability to drive culture change, which creates momentum and support for climate policy solutions.

We WON! You won. Children and future generations won. At trial in the summer of 2023, sixteen young people asserted their rights. They testified to the economic and health impacts of spring floods, smoke-filled skies, and extreme summer heat while working on the family ranch and recreating outdoors; about maintaining ancient tribal traditions tied to the seasons in the absence of winter snow and heat-ravaged harvests of roots and berries; and about impacts to their cherished landscapes across Montana. Today, in a resounding victory (6:1), the Montana Supreme Court upheld Judge Seeley’s historic ruling. It is a new era in Montana today, rooted in constitutional protection for children instead of protection for an extractive industry whose time must end as we enter a new energy future powered by sun, wind and water. Onward, together.

Bravo to the brilliant team Our Children's Trust and the brave young Montanans who fought for this historic climate win! We CAN build a greener, healthier, more just future. #climateaction #ecoanxiety https://lnkd.in/gZzEumS9

This #InternationalHumanRightsDay, we’re in solidarity with the 21 young people leading America’s Climate Case - Juliana v. US! ✊ For nearly ten years, the Juliana 21 have fought for their day in court to secure fundamental climate rights for future generations. And for nearly ten years, the U.S. Government has wielded its power and misused the law to silence them - all while becoming the top producer of fossil fuels in the world. In our constitutional democracy, the courts exist to protect peoples’ fundamental rights from government overreach - especially when children’s rights to life and physical safety are violated by their own government. Yesterday, the Juliana 21 filed a Petition for Certiorari at the U.S. Supreme Court. They have the right to access justice. SCOTUS, let the youth be heard! Our voices are stronger together! Join the Juliana 21 digital rally and call for justice with us today! Toolkit: bit.ly/cert-toolkit #YouthvGov #JulianavUS #SaveJuliana #AmericasClimateCase #ClimateRightsNow #ClimateRightoLife

More joy, less plastic
Author | National Sustainability & Climate Leader| Eco-Anxiety Expert | Keynote Speaker
💫DAY FOUR 12/4 of the #onegreenthing ADVENT GAME. ♻️December 4 #onegreenthing is doing a plastics audit of your holidays and make a commitment to reduce your plastic footprint. Consider reusables when you back your lunch, bring your bags and water bottles, use glass containers for food storage, and choose filtered tapwater instead of buying plastic bottles. Follow Plastic Pollution Coalition to stay up to date on policy & advocacy efforts to end global plastic pollution. ➡️ Try to avoid plastic gifts if you can and use real stuff during the holidays to decorate and when you entertain. 💚 This collab with OneGreenThing stems from my focus to focus on joy and exercise agency over what I can control in the midst of tough climate and political news. 🌿Follow along throughout December for easy ideas for rest, resilience, sustainable living, and joy! #sustainability #sustainableliving #climateaction #ecoanxiety #advent #nature #holidays #compassion #service #greenliving
