Module 8 Learning Activity
We're going to recap the module, but I'm realizing that I forgot to do something in the last lesson of the module that I wanted to include. I'm just going to pull this up here for you and show you one of the products that you can get from Zazzle. This is a heavy duty rubberized flag with its own grommets that make it easy to hang up on a wall or outside or wherever. You can see that the colors are a lot more interesting than you see on the screen background I’ve been using. These stripes reflect a hundred year temperature average. That's just an example of one of the products that are available on zazzle that you might be interested in using for talking about climate change. Now I'm just going to jump back into the presentation for this learning activity.
So, we've covered it several times: voice and time, probably your biggest resource in tackling climate change. The PDF for the learning activity contains quite a few choices that you might want to take a look at and investigate. We've spent an enormous amount of time sort of figuring out where those resources are and organizing them in our knowledge base, The Climate Web. I'll also be introducing that to you in a bonus activity, and we'll organize even more of that stuff in the Ebook for you. Take some time and take a look at those resources. Experiment with options. Check out the app that I showed you. Check out your climate voice in terms of employees getting involved in influencing their workplaces. Check out the Climate Reality project. There are a bunch of things that you could do that would help you get started down the path of implementing what we've talked about and learned in this module.
In the next module we'll get into the topic of using your vote. Some people will tell you that , as opposed to the carbon footprint or as opposed to your voice and time, your vote is really your most important lever. There's some real challenges with that, at least for most of us, and that's what we'll get into in the next module.
