Climate Change: Trusted Sources
Climate Change Education and Information Trusted Sources and Sites that Inspire us
Below are eight site categories in which we have identified our “top” three sites. Did you know that in astrology, the number “8” signifies the ability to manage yourself and your environment and to be able to better judge the potential of those around you? The number 3 signifies the ability to successfully connect people to others. There are so many incredible resources available to us on Climate Change, narrowing down the choices in 8 categories and to a “top 3” has been incredibly difficult. We liked the idea of keeping our categories “manageable” and of helping to connect you to organizations and resources that we use, that have inspired us, and that in our opinion, help to empower us to make educated choices for change.
Check back often, we will be changing the sites listed on a regular basis so that we can introduce you to other important resources. Please note that each category is listed alphabetically and that order doesn’t indicate preference. Send us your favorites as well so we can check them out!
