Climate Action NOW
501(c)3, EIN 87-2679837. Biodiversity and soil health are our purpose. Restoring our toxic, monoculture, suburban landscape with biodiverse NATIVE habitat is our obsession.
Our Purpose
The United States has destroyed 95% of the biodiversity in the lower 48 states, which has become a catalyst that resulted in the climate crisis. Additionally, biodiversity loss has now placed humans on the endangered species list. Our purpose is to help restore the lost biodiversity in our yards, local communities, cities and suburban forests. MORE
