Do you sometimes feel like you are the only one that cares about climate change? We have good news for you
The vast majority of people living in Canada do care about climate change! But the same people also think, just like you, that they are a minority.
This inaccurate perception of the general consensus can act as a barrier to action, especially in times of uncertainty. To act on climate change as a society, we need to speak up and change these social norms. You might be surprised at how many others are feeling the same way as you about climate change!
