Happy Mojo Monday! 😎 It’s well known that the more tech we have access to, the more disconnected it might feel sometimes. And one thing is clear: we’re all looking to connect, to find our community. Think about it: one day, during your morning walk/run with your dog 🐶, you decide to pick up any trash you spot on the ground. The next day, someone joins you, then two more people. Suddenly, you’re organising a massive morning trash pickup around the creek! People start talking about it, and next thing you know, it’s a weekly thing. And wow—there’s no more trash around this beautiful creek! More people keep joining in, making an impact, and—BOOM—it’s a movement now! Okay, maybe the example is a bit specific, but you get my point: community is real. And there always has to be a starting point, something that sparks the movement, like dropping a pin on a map.📍 We're all looking to be part of something that makes us feel like more than just another number. Something that reminds us how amazing it is to meet like-minded people, discover the power of connection, and create real impact. ✨ So, here’s where I'm going with all of this: I’m officially a Cohort #5 CC’ian, and today is Week 1! 🎉 The Community Collective is a community of community builders. I’m taking this step to really learn how to bring movements to life and apply it to climate action and sustainable development. I’m super excited about the tools I'll gain and to soundboard ideas with friend and fellow climate warrior, Annelieke de Wit, PhD. (Talking about movements, she took initiative and started Melbourne Climate Crew last year! 🌱) Absolutely pumped to be joining 92 CC’ians across 8 countries for the Community Cohort #5 with The Community Collective. The next 8 weeks are going to bring a whole new perspective on what community really means! (And let’s set this straight: community 👏 is 👏 not 👏 just 👏 social 👏 media 👏 followers 👏!) 💚 A huge thanks to The CC team, especially Paz Pisarski and Jess Walker, for this incredible opportunity! Would love to hear from all of you: what communities are you building or a part of right now? Let's connect and make MORE climate impact together! 🌱

We have power as consumers. We can choose to be conscious consumers or not. Just understanding this simple concept: we have purchasing power! Also what we consume, ask yourself… is this good for my body and our planet? Money is energy… so we can ask ourselves this question as we purchase any item. Cotton or linen vs plastic based materials? Ecologically responsible small businesses or the big guys who are also responsible for exasperating the ecological problems that are leading us to our 6th mass extinction. Wake up my friends… convert your feelings of hopelessness to empowering living with every day choices we make as consumers. Happy days🌸💕🌍🫶

How can we move from changing individual behaviour to changing a system? A lot of people factor the climate into their lifestyles: choosing ethical brands, using public transport, buying second-hand clothes, eating less meat. Meanwhile, governments can open a mine or a solar farm with the stroke of a pen ✍️ This not only shows the importance of voting - it points to how people can influence a system by working together. As part of the inaugural Climate Action Week Sydney, Youth Decide is hosting this event so you can meet three inspiring leaders who are influencing governments by building communities. 🌟 Eezu Tan 🚀 - Activist and Climate Writers founder 🌟 Rob Chan - Parents for Climate chapter captain and Head of Strategy & Analytics at Turo 🌟 Hannah Vardy - Duty of Care Campaign volunteer We’ll discuss: ✅ what works and what doesn’t work for influencing a system ✅ how young voices are included or excluded from climate policy ✅ current progress in the clean energy transition ✅ the pros and cons of a “duty of care” ✅ how communities ensure they are accessible to diverse groups. Climate, like politics more broadly, can be daunting - but it isn’t all doom and gloom. This event is for anyone interested in understanding how change is happening - and how empowering young people helps it happen faster 🌱 Link below 👇

What’s the most impactful thing we can do together to change the industry this year? This is what we'll be discussing at our flagship pub gathering next week in London. And we'd love you to come along and join us. Our pub nights have been the catalyst for all kinds of conversations and initiatives, but the gatherings are also a place to sense-make, ask difficult questions and meet like-minded others in marketing, media advertising and beyond who want to drive change for the climate. As one community member explained: “To work in advertising while being passionate for climate and sustainability can easily leave you caught in a dichotomous limbo. Purpose Disruptors gatherings help you wade through those hard questions, while never feeling alone. Being able to connect with a community of like minded individuals who want to ask the hard questions that our industry so often avoids, is one of crucial cornerstones to the energy that sustains my own momentum.” Come and fill your cup., find your momentum and discuss ways we can collaborate for change. We'll be at the Williamson's Tavern, EC4M 9EH, 6.30pm - 9pm. As always, everyone is welcome. We'd love to see you there. (Link to register is below) 💚
