We have the solutions we need to ensure future generations can live happy and healthy lives.

We know what we need to do — improve the energy efficiency of our existing buildings and build more in tune with nature moving forward. Rapidly adopt renewable energy sources and make advancements in energy storage. Deploy sustainable transportation systems that include electric vehicles, car-sharing and public transit. Realign our agricultural practices to sequester carbon and reduce fertilizer use. Stop subsidizing the fossil fuel industry and put a price on carbon. Plant trees and stop deforestation, especially in our beautiful old growth forests. Restore, preserve and protect land, water, ecosystems and habitats. Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose and Recycle. And move with the urgency these challenges demand.

To do all this, we'll need to let our elected leaders know that this is the future we want. That we are rising up together locally to ensure future generations have the chance to lead healthy and happy lives.

Millions of people are joining up and teaming together to address the climate crisis.

Here on Cape Cod, our 350 local 350 chapter works closely with allied groups like Cape Cod Climate Change Collaborative, Sierra Club, Citizens’ Climate Lobby, Association to Preserve Cape Cod, Center for Coastal Studies, Cape Light Compact, Woods Hole Research Center, and Outer Cape Energize, just to name a few. And there’s a growing number of organizations looking to bridge the partisan gap and have real discussions about the science and effects of climate change, including  C-Change Conversations, Citizens Climate Lobby and Living Conversations.
