Climate Advocate Senior Citizens

Posted on by autocreate740

Hello Everyone 🙂
News You Can Use 🙂 for 2026!
I am eager to share a valuable resource as I continue to spread Climate Advocate information through my blogs and podcast. As we approach 2026, consider exploring the following information.

Did you know there are communities of Senior Citizens focused on stopping climate change for future generations? These movements, known as Senior Climate Action, and Elders Climate Action advocate for policy changes and participate in activities for our planet’s future.

Their efforts highlight that every generation has a role in protecting our planet and that it is never too late to make a positive impact. I encourage you to explore these resources and think about how you can contribute to the fight against climate change. Check out the links below for more information.

Website: https://seniorclimateaction.org/

Highlights of Suggestions at Website:
1) Be more selective when shopping online because shipping accounts for about 3 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.
2) Purchase your food locally, for example, at the Farmer’s Market, to help reduce emissions associated with transporting food.

Website: Elders Climate Action –https://www.eldersclimateaction.org/about/
History  Elders Climate Action (ECA) was conceived in 2014 by a small group of committed people as a project of Elders Action Network (EAN), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to encourage elders to take action on the social and environmental challenges of our time.

See the ECA guidance for Speaking on Behalf of ECA here.
