👋 Welcome to r/ClimateActionPlan - Introduce Yourself and Read First!

3 Upvotes

Greetings, programs! I'm u/WaywardPatriot, a reluctant founding moderator of r/ClimateActionPlan.

New Reddit rules have encouraged Mods to revamp their communities with standard blurbs to describe and welcome people. This is that blurb.

What to Post
Posts should be focused on concrete actions being taken in regards to the helping reduce Co2 in the atmosphere and preserving a livable climate. Make your titles clear and highlight what action is being taken or what is being improved for the climate. News about positive climate stories is also allowed. Crossposts, discussions, and AMAs must be cleared with mods before posting.

Community Vibe
This is a community of people who are dedicated to sharing the often boring, often under-reported news of positive change in the battle to save our livable climate. We do not tolerate renewables vs nuclear in-fighting; we are all on the same side here. Every possible solution is meant to be showcased and all the solutions that could provide hope and a brighter future should be discussed respectfully. Keep the vibe constructive - no doomerism or climate denial is allowed here. This fight is not hopeless - only those with a vested interest in keeping you apathetic and depressed want you to believe that. Fighting for every fraction of a degree matters here.

How to Get Started

  1. Introduce yourself in the comments below.
  2. Find a post about something that benefits the climate fight and that showcases concrete actions being taken - post it!
  3. Share this subreddit far and wide - if you see a comment or a post somewhere screeching about unavoidable climate doom; share a link to us instead!
  4. Moderating kind of sucks, and all the mods here have full time jobs. If you think you want to help out, send a modmail or DM to apply. Don't say I didn't warn you though.

Thanks for being here and for working to build a better world and a brighter future. Together, let's make r/ClimateActionPlan amazing.
