Climate change remains an issue of top concern for residents across the country – and most people are eager to do their part to make a difference. For municipal officials, climate action campaigns can be a fun, effective way to get your local community involved in making a difference to help stop climate change.
To make it even easier, this web site offers the Climate Action Toolkit – complete with a turn-key campaign ‘brand’ called IMCOOL. On this site, you can download creative templates to use in your community, how-to tools to implement your own IMCOOL campaign, and information about other climate action campaigns and activities around the country.
