   Speaking with people across the U.S. and around the world, I hear the same question almost every day: “What can I do to make a difference?” Most feel frustrated and powerless against the climate crisis, and alarming narratives amplify this paralysis.

   Alongside the grim realities we face, people need to know what we as individuals and as a society can do, and are doing, to make a difference. Recognizing the risks is crucial, yes; but to galvanize action we need hope—not a naïve optimism, but a realistic and muscular hope rooted in purposeful action.

   How does it begin? With a step so simple, we often overlook it entirely: a conversation about how climate risks affect us and how climate action benefits us -- to envision a better future, and to chart a path to get us there from where we are today.

   A carpet company, a shoe manufacturer, and a streaming service have already catalyzed transformative change. What might you achieve? Each of us, individually, have the potential to inspire a culture where real hope thrives, and actions abound. It’s time to chart for ourselves the path from today’s disasters towards a future we envision together.
