Hi John,
We all have a personal climate story to tell. It could be a story about how the climate crisis has affected us, how it’s changing our lives, or how we’re fighting back.
The fossil fuel industry has huge amounts of money to spend on running greenwashing adverts and spreading misinformation. We may not have that budget, but we have something much more powerful: a movement of millions of people across the world.
In order for the climate movement to succeed, we can’t rely on just a few big names to speak out. We need people everywhere to tell their own story, to shine a light on the issues affecting them and inspire their communities to take action.
Tools like smartphones have made it easier than ever to be a digital storyteller. We’ve developed a Storytelling Toolkit which helps anyone find and tell their personal climate story, without needing expensive or professional equipment.
The Storytelling Toolkit has tips and tricks on every step of the journey, from identifying your story, to structuring and creating it, and finally sharing it with the world.
Together we will build a community of storytellers all over the world - from Paris to the Pacific, from Mumbai to the Mediterranean - sharing stories, inspiring each other, and driving the fight against the climate crisis.
The strength of this climate movement is in its people, and only by telling our stories can we reach new audiences and inspire more people to take action.
Get started now: Download the Storytelling Toolkit, and learn how to find and tell your story!
Onwards,
Matilda, for the 350.org Europe team
