Inspiring action in our homes, schools, workplaces and communities.
Real people. Real stories. Real action.
Welcome to Eco Action Families! We aim to help you learn more about the ecological and climate crisis that we are all facing, and inspire you to take ACTION!
Action comes in many forms and works on many levels from personal changes in the home, to school and community campaigns, to national, political campaigning and civil disobedience. Often it starts with the urge to learn more and go beyond the mainstream media headlines. Something awakens in us as we notice for ourselves that all is not well in the world. We look at our loved ones, the places we cherish and the incredible gifts and beauty of nature and we realise that they desperately need protecting.
Every bite we eat and every breath we take relies on a healthy environment, and yet we are destroying ecosystems, filling the world with toxic chemicals, plastic waste and carbon emmissions, whilst consuming, consuming, consuming….
This one precious and finite planet is our only home. The time has come for a different story….
How do I learn more?
The issues of climate change and ecologicical collapse can be overwhelming. We’ve pulled together some of our favourite resources to help you get informed.
How do I take action?
From changing your bank account or bathroom products, to running a school fund raiser or planting trees, to working with your local council, or writing to your MP, to protesting at your local supermarket or on the streets of London… Everyone can take action! We have information, stories, tips, campaigns and blog posts to inspire you.
“We are all here to contribute our gifts to something greater than ourselves…”
—Charles Eisenstein
“We all have a role to play in preserving ecosystems, whether it is by supporting conservation efforts, taking steps to decrease our carbon footprint or simply educating ourselves further. Most importantly, we must believe that we can overcome significant obstacles in order to save our oceans, our forests and our wildlife. It is all too easy to capitulate in the face of despair. ”
— Dr Jane Goodall
