Do Something: Be A Pathway to Peace on #PeaceDay Do #ClimateMarch
Today is the International Day of Peace and The People’s Climate March. It’s a Global Day of Action.
So do something.
The ways that we are destroying our planet does not make me feel peaceful; in fact it makes me angry. But anger doesn’t change as much as action does.
Here Are Some Actions You Can Take. Today. Tomorrow. Next week. Every day. Any day.
Anyone, anywhere (and actually anytime for most of these actions!) can celebrate Peace Day and help create peace or work toward action on climate awareness.
Participate in an organized event in your local area (click here to search events) or create your own. Below are some ideas how and here is the complete list. Basic info about worldwide and local climate and peace events here.
