A Guide to Climate Change
What’s your purpose in the fight against climate change?

What drives us to do great things? Purpose. It’s a fundamental need. If you’re a barista at Tesla, do you know how you’re accelerating the world’s transition to sustainable energy? We understand how important this is. We try to design companies around this. Simon Sineks life’s work is this. It’s surprising to me, then, that we don’t ask this question more often in one of the biggest problems we face today.
What’s your purpose in the fight against climate change?
If you’re wondering when you signed up to fix this problem, you were enlisted the moment you were born. Of course, that doesn’t mean your role can’t be that of a detractor. I hope it isn’t, and if it is, I want to show you how that fits in, too.
If you’re unsure of your purpose, or want to find out where and how everyone else fits in, this guide is for you.
By the end of this guide, I hope to provide three things:
- A model for how we can stop climate change
- Where do you and I fit in, or our purpose
- What we can do about it today
