The Climate Action Counts campaign is uniting Californians to take everyday climate actions for collective impact. From composting at home to planting native trees and supporting local farmers, these small, every day actions can create big impacts in our homes and neighborhoods, building stronger, more resilient communities. Take the pledge and join this growing community making a difference together.
Use this toolkit to help spread the word. Send an email to your network. Engage on social media. Distribute a news release to local media. Be a climate champion by encouraging others to take the Climate Action Counts pledge.
Donate, upcycle and thrift.
Landfills are the third-largest source of human-related methane emissions in the U.S. So instead of tossing things, donate items you no longer need to local charities. Upcycle old furniture, clothes or materials into something new and unique! Avoid single-use products. Borrow, rent, trade or share tools, clothing and more with neighbors. And thrift!

Video about Reducing Waste
Toss in your green bin or compost in your yard.
Composting promotes climate resilience. All it takes is meal planning and a few seconds after each meal. Instead of throwing those scraps in the garbage, toss veggie peels, coffee grounds, eggshells and other scraps into your green bin or compost pile. By composting, you’re turning waste into nutrient rich soil that can help gardens grow while keeping harmful gases out of our atmosphere.
