Take Action
Climate change is the defining crisis of our time. But the outcome is in our hands.
If we act collectively, effectively and immediately, we have the power to slow and eventually stop climate change. FreeportCAN takes action through its action groups, which each focus on a sector of climate change solutions. Only with true community-wide effort will we be able to meet our goals.
“Once we start to act, hope is everywhere.”
– Greta Thurnberg
