Carbon CREW (Carbon Reduction for Earth Wellbeing) is a 5 session gathering (zoom or in person) where climate concerned participants utilize Damon Gameau’s 2040 Handbook as a springboard for discussing various climate issues and counter actions to offset them. Other readings and movies are interspersed for more depth and greater awareness!
During each session, CREWs focus on a vision of the future and how we can get there.
During each session, CREWs focus on two the main goals:
TALK, TALK, TALK to friends, family and even total strangers about the climate crisis not being an insurmountable issue! CREW are an opportunity to plan and begin implementing a personalized action plan where each person attempts to reduce his/her carbon footprint by 50% in 5 years. Conversations inspire and inform, enabling a reduced carbon lifestyle. Group support and accountability make forming and sticking with the climate action plan a living reality.
Personal Climate Action Plans (PCAPs) are detailed, structured frameworks for measuring, planning and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other related climate toxins. They are an opportunity to rewrite the narrative, assess an impact, prioritize, and take action.
People taking action in their own lives is the best way to build momentum for larger systemic change.

Carbon CREW is dedicated to providing open-source material readily available so that anyone can form a new CREW. CREW “guides” bring people together to engage in action by providing gentle encouragement and example, suggesting resources and assisting participants in finding solutions that work for them. Guides help unleash the participant’s innate love for the planet and desire for change. The spirit of a CREW in action is one of a collaboration of equals. Commitment increases with participation and verbal discussion. While some direction by the guide is needed for timing and reminders about preparation, everyone in the CREW takes responsibility for creating a Personal Climate Action Plan (PCAP) and sticking to it. Mutual inspiration and support without judgment enhances an experience of positive action to counter the climate crisis.
