Pitch
I will pull together a global network of passionate conservationists to chronicle their restoration efforts.
Description
Summary
Solutions to combat the threat of climate change are being undermined. Every day, climate deniers spread half truths and minimize the knowledgeable dedication of climate conservationists who are acting responsibly in responding to the sense of failure that we are experiencing as we witness climate changes. I've been working with Our Green Challenge for several years providing useful tips to concerned people who want to reduce their carbon footprint, save money and feel they are part of the solution.
With this project, we decided that it was time to write climate change back into history. Fundamentally, we’re concerned that students and the public are getting the wrong media message. Essentially, students who pursue ecology, environmental sciences, conservation, wildlife management or climatology shouldn't be concerned that their compassion for the environment and actions to conserve our natural resources be deemed cause for being maligned. Efforts toward the restoration of our climate are extremely relevant.
Our team will gather up to 1,000 biographies of conservationists from various sectors of society around the world. Teachers, community leaders, businesses, scientists, writers, architects, inventors, government employees, builders, kids and consumers are making critical contributions to history and shouldn't fall through the cracks.
Narratives will provide you an up close and personal understanding of what drives and motivates dedicated conservationists. You'll get the personal impressions, articles, photos and videos of inspiring people who nurture their communities. Together, we can revitalize the spirit of caring about the known human effects on our climate.
What actions do you propose?
Who will take these actions?

Where will these actions be taken?
We will be teaming up local groups that gather narratives, photos and videos and enter them into Wikipedia and onto our Climate History WordPress website. Eventually, we plan to collate the chronicles in an eBook or a quarterly publication. Essentially, at the end of the project we will help spur locally organized “Writing Climate Change Back into History” celebrations. We are rebuilding our communities!
How will these actions have a high impact in addressing climate change?
What are other key benefits?
Together, we can challenge apathy. To invest in this project is to invest in writing climate change back into history and recording local restorative actions. You can feel good that you are part of our effort to help chronicle an accurate history that gives proper mention to those who value solutions, accountability and an environmentally-friendly community. Not just media hype. We will pay tribute to these unsung activists who are bringing attention to environmental concerns.
What are the proposal’s costs?
We want to raise $ 875 to cover online production costs and outreach since we are trying to do this without advertisements. The funds will be used to cover production costs for documenting these biographies.
