Contact Media Outlets
Quick and easy instructions about:
Writing Op-ed's about climate change and ecological breakdown.
Contacting news outlets to request that they report on climate change with more urgency and communicate the connection between extreme weather events and the burning of coal, oil, and natural gas.
Contacting your Representatives to ask them to pass policies that protect ecosystems and transition the grid away from fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy.
Writing Media Alerts and Press Releases for Climate Actions.
Op-eds are opinion pieces written by members of the public that typically are published in a news outlet’s editorial section. Newspapers, magazines and other news publications regularly publish op-eds to ensure they present diverse opinions on important topics.
2. Contact News Outlets
Ask your meteorologist to report on the link between human’s burning of coal, oil, and natural gas, and our destruction of ecosystems and increasingly severe and extreme temperatures, floods, droughts, storms, etc.
3. Contact your Town, State, and Federal Representatives
Elected officials often claim that they don’t hear about the climate and ecological crises from their constituents. We can change that!
4. Write a Media Alert or Press Release
Media alerts are one-page announcements of an upcoming event, intended for journalists, not the public. Their purpose is to convince reporters that this event is a genuine news story worthy of coverage and inviting them to attend.
Press Releases are an official statement issued to newspapers giving information on a particular subject/event.
