Here’s the thing: the climate crisis and our burnout are inextricably linked. 🔗⁠ ⁠ The current economic system is based on an extraction-at-all-costs mentality. That means it is designed to keep us busy, “in the grind”, and fractured from community. Busyness is what keeps the status quo in place and, in turn, how unsustainable big business continues to perpetuate itself. ⁠ ⁠ So how do we make time to advocate for the climate when it feels like there is none? ⌛️⁠ ⁠ These three steps can help you break the busyness cycle. ➡️

If you are politically engaged AND care about the climate, right now you're more than likely being sucked into the doom and gloom algorithm. 🤳🏽⁠ ⁠ But in the words of former Amazon employee Maren Costa (one of the most influential corporate climate advocates of her time): “The climate crisis requires us to be our bravest selves in ways we may never have done before. But the good news? It only takes 3.5% of the population to be actively engaged to achieve systematic change.” 🌎️⁠ ⁠ So, what steps can you take to transform that online passion into real world actions in 2025? We asked climate activist Tegan Lerm from Project Planet and WorkforClimate director Lucy Piper for their tips. ⚡️⁠ ⁠ Scroll for action items!

The facts: ⚠️ 80% of carbon dioxide emissions since 2016 are linked to just 57 cement or fossil fuel companies. ⚠️ The oil and gas industry has been lying about global warming for decades. ⚠️ We are facing devastating environmental disasters like the L.A. fires because of climate inaction. BUT... There is still time to make the necessary changes to ensure a liveable future ⬇️

Finding time for climate action can be hard. Most of us are juggling work, life, and family to the point that we already feel burned out. But if you've resolved to find more time for climate action in 2025, WorkforClimate’s Lydia Hascott and Cameron Elliott have you covered. ⬇️

It's that time of year again! The time when we need to re-think corporate gifting because it creates TONNES of avoidable waste. 🎁 👀 According to ING, 40% of corporate gifts – including the usual suspects like hoodies, mugs, t-shirts and lanyards – end up in landfill. That’s 40% of over $242 billion dollars’ worth of merchandise a year. 🤯 We can do better. Try our zero-waste solution instead ⬇️

Amazon Employees for Climate Justice (AECJ) is perhaps the most impactful employee-led climate justice movement in the world: it’s widely credited with unprecedented wins, like bringing about Amazon’s long-overdue Climate Pledge, Amazon’s pledge to buy 100,000 electric vans, and Jeff Bezos’s 10-billion-dollar Earth Fund. ✊🌱 So, how did they do it? WorkforClimate advisor and former Amazon employee Maren Costa shares a step-by-step guide to workplace organising, packed full of tactics and lessons from her time leading AECJ.
