  • Educate children and young adults about how we all contribute to climate change and can make a difference by changing our own behaviors. Check out these resources and tools for educators and students.
  • Promote environmental stewardship by encouraging your school or workplace to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by managing their energy use and waste generation.
  • Translate abstract measurements into concrete terms, such as the annual emissions from cars, households, or power plants, by using EPA's Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator.
  • Help increase climate change data and understanding by participating in citizen science projects, which encourage public participation in scientific research.
  • Learn more about climate change science so you can speak knowledgeably about the greenhouse effect and the causes of climate change, and even be able to answer some commonly asked questions about climate change.
  • Share your knowledge! Tell others in your home, school, workplace, and community how they can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and take other climate protection steps.
