" I am excited to be a Millennium Fellow because of the opportunity to bounce around ideas, receive feedback from, and build upon so many other passionate young changemakers. Climate solutions will only come from cross-displinary and trans-national collaboration. This is collaboration that will take all hands on deck, the Millennium Fellowship helps us get many more hands on deck. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: You Change Earth

Millions of people care about climate change - especially with media covering it as the challenge of our century. But, it is such an immense challenge that people do not know where to start or they feel disconnected. However, whether sparking change around them or just reducing their own carbon footprint (the equivalent of planting hundreds of trees), people can do a lot. 

YouChangeEarth.org helps a person answer 'what can I do?' and starts them on their climate journey.
