As our Red Hot and Green series comes to a close, it’s clear – across the country, Americans are taking their own initiative to fight climate change. From changing the way you move to the amount of time you’re plugged in and turned on, even to the way you eat, these steps make a difference toward protecting wildlife and natural habitats who are already feeling the heat. This Independence Day, watch our video playlist to see how people across the country are showing their true colors – Red Hot and Green!
These actions are among many that can reduce the amount of carbon we put into the atmosphere and stop the climate change that is already harming wildlife and their homes. Click here to see more!
The sad truth is, even if we all cut our greenhouse gas emissions dramatically tomorrow, the pollution already in the atmosphere means that climate change will impact our planet for decades to come. But that isn’t a reason to give up! It just means that in addition to taking steps to shrink our carbon footprints, we’re going to have to help prepare our country’s habitats and wildlife for the changes a warming world entails.
Defenders is working to protect measures already in place to safeguard wildlife and ecosystems from climate change impacts, currently under fire by Congress. And we need YOUR help! Stay tuned to see how you can help prevent these attacks from eliminating programs critical to the health of our country and wildlife in a changing climate.
And in the meantime… keep up the good (green) work!
