Climate action can take many forms: protests, legislation, large-scale efforts like carbon capture or forest restoration. But some make the case that smaller actions count as well—that the "butterfly effect" can amplify what individuals do to help the planet. Authors are among those doing their part to fight climate change. We'll talk about the intersection of writing and climate action, and how authors are trying to make a difference.
