Public opinion is the only effective counterweight to the immense power of the fossil fuel industry. The industry knows this, which is why it spends so much time and money trying to shape it.

It is your megaphone. This app does the work so that you don’t have to. It provides an endless stream of well-researched, well-written, personalized messages that you can send to political and business leaders advocating for climate action in just seconds with just a few touches! And you’ll learn a lot about the issues and earn real trees as you go. FAST.

We’ve done all the work for you so that you don’t need to. Don’t know who your elected officials are? Give the app your location, and it will tell you. Don’t know how to contact them?

Did you know that just 100 companies, and the politicians, investors, and regulators who enable them, are responsible for over 70% of the world’s emissions? Climate Action Now makes it easy for you to influence them with emails, petitions, and phone calls. Did you know that the fossil fuel industry is poisoning communities of color in their own backyards? Climate Action Now helps you fight these injustices and demand an equitable future for all. Did you know that leading climate activists say the most important thing you can do about climate change is to talk about it?

REWARDING. Every action you take earns points, and when you’ve earned enough points, a real tree will be planted. Every action you take sets an example for others to follow. Join a team and every action you take contributes to the team’s total and helps it win rivalries with other teams.
