Together, WE ADD UP
The climate crisis is real and it’s happening right now. Yet, it’s so easy to feel helpless and overwhelmed. People keep asking, “What difference will changing my light bulbs really make? The problem is so huge, and I’m just one person.” I always try to explain to whoever is willing to listen how every little bit counts and I also try to find and promote other websites and/or organizations that can help to get the message across.
That is why I am so glad a stumbled upon a new website called WE ADD UP.
WE ADD UP is a new global campaign that uses organic cotton t-shirts that literally “count you in” the fight against global warming. It was created by mother-daughter team Judy Pezdir and Jill Palermo who represent the type of people who are crazy enough to get a vision and follow it through.
According to their website:
Our goal is to get millions of people around the world counted in and committed to helping stop global warming. With our combined effort, we can create a healthy, thriving world for generations to come. So, get counted in. Because you + everyone else = change.
The interesting approach they take is that every shirt is printed by hand with a unique number. YOUR number represents your place in the sequential global count of all the people who are taking steps to help stop climate change - a perfect opportunity to show the people around us that we don’t really have to do it alone… That we’re all in this together!
As the count grows, they demonstrate to the world how “WE ADD UP.” On the back of each shirt is a word or phrase that describes an action almost anyone can take to reduce their carbon footprint on this planet, such as Unplug, Lights Off, Carpool, Shower Together, Hybrid, Bike, Buy Local, Recycle, Demand Change and 16 others. You choose which action you are committed to doing and then instantly get counted in with your own unique number! I think it’s a very creative (and hopefully, very effective) idea.
I also love their motto:
“No one can do everything. Everyone can do something.”
And in the end, WE ADD UP.
