Make a Pledge for Change 

You have the power to fight climate change and support climate justice for people with and without disabilities in your own life, your community and even the world! You can reduce your impact on the environment and the atmosphere by changing your transportation habits, energy use, what you consume and how you throw things away. You can also increase your own climate resilience by, for example, putting together a disaster readiness plan. And you can impact your community and the world by becoming an activist, whether that’s through calling your legislators or joining a climate justice or disability rights group. You can take immediate action by signing our healthy living spaces petition and later followup with other activities.
