We Want to Hear from You

Tell us what you think about our climate change work. What are you doing to lessen your impact on the climate?

What’s Your Impact?

Get an estimate of your carbon footprint using the Conservancy’s carbon footprint calculator and see how you compare to U.S. and global averages.

Climate change has already begun to happen. But there is hope. We must all take action now to reduce or slow the worst consequences of climate change. Here's how you and your family can help:

  1. Spread the word through Planet Change. What do you want to protect from climate change? Share your thoughts with friends, family and world leaders.
  2. Use The Nature Conservancy's carbon footprint calculator to measure your — or your household's — carbon footprint. The carbon footprint calculator will estimate how many tons of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases your choices create each year.
  3. Learn some energy and climate-saving tips from a Nature Conservancy climate change scientist who not only talks the talk, but walks the walk. Reduce your personal energy consumption.
  4. Donate online now to support The Nature Conservancy's work to confront climate change in your area and around the globe.
  5. Sign up for the Conservancy's Great Places Network, a free online membership program, to learn more about what the Conservancy is doing in your state and around the world.
  6. Learn the facts about climate change.
  7. Test your climate change knowledge with our online quiz.
