Project Summary / Description:

Carbon CREW’s volunteer initiative engages students globally in a proactive effort to address climate change through education and community involvement. Anchored by the insights from the book and film “2040” by Damon Gameau, the program invites students to participate in weekly discussions that inspire the creation of personal climate action plans. These plans are evaluated through Earth Overshoot Day benchmarking, where students measure their environmental impact before and after applying their action strategies, often projecting a 50% improvement in their ecological footprint. By encouraging students to involve their families, the initiative promotes intergenerational cooperation and wider community engagement in sustainable practices. This approach is integral to Carbon CREW’s mission to empower individuals and communities to foster a regenerative future, facilitating meaningful change across diverse populations worldwide.
