One of the big issues facing us, especially novice activists, or people who haven't quite stepped into that role yet, is the perception of "being alone" in this. It often feels like others don't care, and "no one's doing anything about this!" which is a sentiment I see typed out far too often in different climate and environmental comment sections.

I wanted to create a place where we can use the power of maps to remind ourselves and others that we are NOT the only people who care enough about these issues to take action. Feel free to join in by registering your own impacts, organizations, action days, and meet-ups on the maps bellow. Feel tree to suggest other maps!

Cycle Without Age

Volunteers (pilots) sign up for bike rides with the elderly as often or as rarely as they want to. It’s all driven by people’s own motivation. At present (December 2021) more than 2,700 chapter locations around the world offer Cycling Without Age from well over 3,700 trishaws – and the numbers are still growing. More than 35,000 trained pilots ensure that the elderly get out of their nursing homes, out on the bikes to enjoy the fresh air and the community around them. They give them the right to wind in their hair.

Fridays For Future aka School Strike for Climate

FRIDAYS FOR FUTURE or FFF, is a youth-led and -organised global climate strike movement that started in August 2018, when 15-year-old Greta Thunberg began a school strike for climate. In the three weeks leading up to the Swedish election, she sat outside Swedish Parliament every school day, demanding urgent action on the climate crisis. She was tired of society’s unwillingness to see the climate crisis for what it is: a crisis.

Coral Conservation

Fragments of Hope

Fragments of Hope pioneered reef replenishment activities in Belize and is committed to spreading awareness and the importance of coral reefs and their associated biodiversity. In 2009, six in-situ nursery sites were established near Placencia using three cultured methods from Dr. Austin Bowden-Kerby. Much of these methods have been modified and today, there are over 23 nurseries and over 100,000 coral out-planted in more than 10 different locations throughout Belize expanding from Laughing Bird Caye National Park (LBCNP) to Gladden Spit and Silk Cayes Marine Reserve (GSSCMR), South Water Caye Marine Reserve (SWCMR) and Turneffe Atoll Marine Reserve (TAMR).

Rewiring America: Track Your Local Pace of Progress "These projections from Rewiring America worked backwards from the emissions targets for 2050, and forward from current sales of machines for cooking, water heating, space heating, transportation, and rooftop solar to set a number of new clean electric machines that must be sold each year to reduce emissions from fossil-fueled machines. Type your city, county, or state into the search bar to get those numbers broken down for your area, by each machine category.

While creating this tool, one of things we found is that some individual communities and states are leading the way: their goals are bolder than the rest of the country and so don’t match the path laid out in our data. That’s a great problem to have. So our tool should not be considered the only source of its kind -- but one that reflects only one of the possible paths to decarbonization."
