How does voting affect climate change?

Why is voting one of the most powerful things you can do for the climate? Most people rank recycling as a climate action ahead of voting, but voting for a pro-climate candidate matters far more than your personal emissions.

In this episode, Climate Actually host Kim talks to Kate, a former construction sustainability manager turned Environmental Voter Project‬ volunteer, about why so many climate-minded people don't vote consistently, and what to actually do about it. "I think people are really starting to attend to the problem, but everybody doesn't know what to do,” Kate said. They cover how to register and plan to vote, how to identify climate leaders on your ballot using tools like the Congressional Scorecard and OpenSecrets, and how Kate is helping expand the climate vote, one handwritten postcard at a time.
