ClimateChoice is a non-profit volunteer project from Steven Hylands, Rachel Franklin, Paul McBride that launched in May 2019. The project was developed with the help of the Impact Makers group — a community of tech people who want to have a positive impact by helping prevent earth’s climate breaking down. Read this to learn more about the origins of ClimateChoice and Impact Makers.

👋Hi Product Hunt, Today I’m pleased to share with you ClimateChoice - the best place on the web to learn what you can do to help prevent earth’s climate breaking down. ClimateChoice is here to make it easy to understand the choices you can make to reduce your carbon footprint and help others to act. 📖 Origin Story One month ago I decided to do more to help prevent climate breakdown. Whilst researching changes I could make to my lifestyle to benefit the planet, I discovered that most of the relevant information was poorly organised and hidden within blog posts scattered around the internet. I couldn’t find a single, easily consumable point of truth that I’d be happy sending to a friend to learn more. I chose there and then to use my skill set to do more and make an accessible organised home for this fundamental information. Rather than develop this alone I asked for help — receiving dozens of offers from tech people also motivated to do more. That led to the creation of Impact Makers (https://techimpactmakers.com) - a community of tech volunteers working to prevent earth's climate breaking down which has grown to 160 makers strong 💪 🌎 About ClimateChoice On the site you can read guides on how to: ✅ Change how you eat ✅ Change how you travel ✅ Choose renewable energy ✅ Use less energy ✅ Change your lifestyle ➕ More coming soon It’s not just about reducing your carbon footprint, our goal is also to help you understand how to do more by supporting people and groups who prioritise the planet. We’ve made it super simple to share each guide on Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and Email so you can let your friends, family and followers know how they can help too. 🗣️ We’d love to hear any feedback or ideas on how we can improve ClimateChoice, and make it an even better resource to empower people to help prevent climate breakdown. 🌎🖖

@shylands this sounds like a great resource! There is little actionable advice out there and every little helps. Love the content, it's well put together and interesting, keep up the good work!

@peteyhawkins Thanks Pete. Yeah agreed. Making ClimateChoice more actionable is something on my todo list for the future. We could still do much better in that aspect.

Thanks @shylands for starting Impact Makers and for driving Climate Choice forward. I’m really excited to see v1 launched on Product Hunt so soon. It was only a month ago that I saw the tweet calling Makers to take action on pressing Climate issues and I was immediately compelled to get involved. Particularly because I’d been struggling to access useful information regarding Climate Change and what I, as one person could do to positively impact upon it. With Climate Choice v1 launched, we are keen to hear what you think we should include in v2? Personally, I’d love an automated system which will source and create a pre-drafted email to my local MP which I can tailor and send with just a few clicks of a button. We would really love to hear from you all, what do you think? What can be improved? Let us know 🌎💚
