3% Project
The 3% Project mobilizes 1,000,000 Canadian youth - that's 3% of Canada - through 5 national tours across 600 schools. It provides youth-friendly and holistic education on climate change and empowers them to take action on solving climate change in their local communities today. As a result, we achieve more consensuses across Canada that climate change is happening, mainly caused by human activities.

Center for Political Accountability
American citizens — and even shareholders — don't know which companies are influencing elections, how much they spend, or what the consequences are to this country. The lack of transparency — and the opportunities for bias, preferential treatment, and backroom deals — runs counter to the very concept of our democracy. The Center for Political Accountability seeks corporate political disclosure and accountability.

Because of climate change we face floods, wildfires, extreme weather, crop failure, mass displacement and the breakdown of society. The time for denial is over. It is time to act.
Conventional approaches of voting, lobbying, petitions and protest have failed because powerful political and economic interests prevent change. Our strategy is therefore one of non-violent, disruptive civil disobedience – a rebellion.

Fossil Banks No Thanks
Climate change, long considered an urgent but future threat, is now with us, and already impacting the lives of millions of people around the world. It's being driven in large part by the continued exploration and burning of coal, oil and gas. To stop a further climate breakdown we urgently need to bring the fossil fuel era to an end. One way to achieve this is to stop large commercial banks from financing the fossil fuel industry. Only massive public pressure will make banks end their support for this climate-wrecking industry. That is why we started this campaign.

On January 21, 2010, with its ruling in Citizens United v.

Ocean Agency
Of all the conservation challenges on the planet, ocean conservation should top the list – it is about conserving the very source of life on Earth. But it is a challenge that is out of sight and out of mind - awareness of the issues and fundamental role of the ocean is so low, ocean conservation is one of the least supported areas of conservation. Each of the main issues; pollution, overfishing, ocean warming and acidification are major in their own right, but together they create arguably the greatest environmental challenge we have ever needed to overcome - that of ocean change. For thousands of years, the ocean has been stable, providing our planet with food, most of the oxygen we breathe, a favorable climate and a reliable supply of fresh water. It is the main reason why mankind has been able to flourish. But the ocean is no longer stable. It is changing faster now than at any time in millions of years. We have pushed it to its limit and beyond, thinking it was too big to fail us. 93% of climate change heat is being absorbed by the ocean, and a third of CO2 emissions, rapidly changing ocean chemistry – the ocean is where the momentum of climate change is building up. Letting rapid ocean change continue is quite frankly not an option, not if we want humanity to continue to flourish.
