JOIN OUR LAUNCH TEAM!
We have a big idea. On many levels, the planet is in crisis. And thus, humans and all of life on earth are in a dangerous spot.
Why wait for others to take action on the climate and protect our planet? We can do it, together!
The Climate Action Challenge is a book launch and challenge to spur 1,000 new or expanded environmental initiatives to take off in 90 days!
That's an audacious goal and we need your help to make it happen! We're recruiting 100 volunteers to join our launch team. You can help us make a splash and encourage people to register for the challenge and make an impact!
Interested? Please apply now using the form above.
After applying, you'll get access to my calendar to book a time to talk by phone or Zoom. We'll discuss your interests and the launch details to make sure it's a good fit.
Can't wait to hear from you!
