Climate Action NOW
501(c)3. Biodiversity is our purpose. Restoring our sterile suburban landscape with natural & 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
Projects
Get excited about restoring biodiversity & beautifying our suburban & city landscapes, yards, corporate campuses, suburban forests, highways and byways. All this biodiversity restoration & beautification will simultaneously drawdown a huge amount of carbon and save our civilization. Apply for a grant! Check it out!

“The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) opened for signature in 1992 at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, and entering into force in December 1993, the CBD is an international treaty for the conservation of biodiversity, the sustainable use of the components of biodiversity and the equitable sharing of the benefits derived from the use of genetic resources. With 196 Parties, the CBD has near universal participation among countries. “ —David Ainsworth, UN

But at times, the daily pressures of lifeContinue reading “Biodiversity & Social Equity | Kew for a Pound”
Boosting Biodiversity In our Yards to Create Conservation Corridors
“If all [humankind] were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago. If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos.” — E. O. Wilson, Naturalist We’re at a life-altering crossroads in the history of human civilization as scientists warn yet againContinue reading “Boosting Biodiversity In our Yards to Create Conservation Corridors”
Compost Boosts Carbon Sink
Compost is a big deal in the calculus for increasing carbon sink in our soil. It provides one of the most effective methods for the US public to assist with cutting carbon as deeply and swiftly as possible. Peat is a compost. It looks very much like soil, but is simply partially decaded vegetation richContinue reading “Compost Boosts Carbon Sink”
Strategy
- We are aligned with UN Kunming Biodiversity targets
- Nature-based drawdown of 10 billion tons of carbon each year through biodiversity restoration
- We will be using native plants, with the goal to eliminate invasives 75% by 2030
Nature
“A species can only thrive when everything else around it thrives, too.”
—Sir David Attenborough
“Time to start a life on our planet in balance with nature…. to start to thrive.”
