We all have causes and beliefs that we care deeply about, things we wish we could change in the world. And while it can sometimes feel like our individual actions aren’t enough to make a real impact, today’s conversation will remind you that we can create meaningful change—especially when we come together.

Dr. Katharine Hayhoe is the Chief Scientist at The Nature Conservancy, a professor at Texas Tech University, and the bestselling author of Saving Us: A Climate Scientist’s Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World. She’s also a co-founder of Science Moms, a movement where moms unite to protect the future of their children by taking on climate change together—proof that when passionate people join forces, incredible things happen.

Today, we’re going behind the scenes of the powerful “Act of Man” campaign, a movement that’s changing how we talk about extreme weather and climate-related disasters. Join millions at http://actofman.com to join her in her mission to protect the places we love!

In our conversation, Dr. Hayhoe will share why shifting the way we communicate about climate change is so important, how this campaign is moving people from belief to action, and how partnerships are making an even bigger impact. Plus, she gives us real, tangible ways that you can get involved—whether you’re a parent, a business owner, or just someone who wants to make a difference!
