Islander's Taking Action

Thanks for visiting for Pledgspiration! The movement towards a healthy planet that is in balance with nature and a safe climate is growing. You can be a part of it. Many positive climate actions are also good for you, protecting our Biosphere and the planet. High impact actions include going car-free, buying less or pre-loved, taking the ferry and train instead of flying and even checking our bank isn't investing in fossil fuels.

Here are some pledges from our Islander's Taking Action board at Gaia. Or you may wish to look for more inspiration from our top 10 tips for tackling climate change.
