Why &
What’s Next
#1
It starts With Hope.
We believe there is something powerful that can be unlocked when we can show the sheer number of people in the world who love planet earth and are concerned about climate change. A billion people is an enormous audience that carries real momentum for change. Real change never starts from a place of fear. It always starts from a place of hope. When lots of people come together, it generates hope. That’s why we gather. One billion people gathered online will be the largest rally ever.
#2
Climate Hypocrites Included.
Perhaps for every person that has the courage to show up in-person to a climate rally (there have literally been hundreds of millions of these brave souls over the years), there are thousands more who believe in the cause but are afraid to show up and call themselves “activists”. We need to include this much larger group of people if we want to build coordinated momentum on transformative climate action. That starts right here, with one small click. You can still be a climate hypocrite and be on the right side of history.
#3
Steps Two & Three & Four.
My daughter and I have dozens of ideas of what might come next after we hit the one billion “hear” target. The most obvious might be to convert these micro-actions-of-one-billion into one billion followers and subscribers. The next most obvious step forward might be a shared platform to help this enormous audience commit to a more regular cadence of climate-friendly actions (perhaps weekly?). Honestly, we’re not exactly sure what comes next – partly because the options are endless – but whatever comes next we guarantee will move us faster towards where we need to go. AND, I’m certain that within an audience of one billion people, there will be thousands, if not millions, of smarter people than us who will have incredible ideas for what to do next. If that sounds like you, please drop us an email!
#4
Please Take This And Make It Better.
This activation is merely scaffolding for other smarter, more influential and more resourceful people than us to latch on to. We want to hear from you. We want others to make this a hopeful tipping point for transformative climate action leading in to 2024.
#5
The Urgency IS Real.
I know lots of people who don’t agree with climate activists taking to closing bridges, roads and airports as a form of protest. I understand their point of view. I also understand why some climate activists feel compelled to resort to civil disobedience in order to get the word out (this work has always been critically important). Yet, neither group is right or wrong AND we need to find a way to come together if we want to influence change in the next several years. The ONLY years left to change our dire trajectory. This campaign feels like the most obvious way to begin that journey all-together.
What is 1Day1Billion?
This is the largest virtual climate rally on the planet. A moment in time to show how many people from around the world care about planet Earth concerned about climate change. Think Earth Day March on steroids leveraging the power of addictive social platforms this time for good! (No strings attached).
What are you trying to accomplish?
This is an honest attempt to inject some hope towards this daunting challenge we are all facing. To show exactly how many people care about this issue and that WE CAN come together to join forces. An attempt to create a tipping point moment in history where a critical mass of people from around the world commit to transformative action against climate change – starting with the smallest of steps to measure this size of our herd of climate optimists, circling around the sun on our fragile, blue, warming planet.
How can I get involved?
Good news! You must already be involved if you’re reading this sentence! Learn more about ways to help us spread the word and hit our one billion target before 2024. LINK
Where did 1Day1Billion come from?
Honestly, it was the seed of an idea that was inspired from the Black Lives Matter movement. For there, it evolved over the years toward this very moment. For all the millions of peoples who have shown up in-person to climate rallies, I’m amazed how small our online footprint is (it’s tiny – why?!) And, for every person, who has ever attended a climate rally, I’m betting (my daughter specifically) there are at least one-thousand who would attend but are intimidated to call themselves “climate activists”. These “climate hypocrites” (like us) are where real change needs to happen. The more of us show the courage to put our hand up and admit that we don’t really know what to do next, the faster this all moves in the right direction.
Why is the climate important?
If you have been reading the news for the past twenty years and you believe in science, this is a dumb question.
How is this going to actually create change?
Change starts with small actions. This climate thing feels more like a psychological problem versus a technical one. As Michael Jordan would say, “It starts with hope”. We’ve never started this climate-crisis conversation (and it is very much “a crisis”) from the point-of-view of hope. If we want to accelerate global change on this topic, we need to show the world how many people believe it is possible. A billion voices are a powerful tipping point towards more action.
What happens when we reach one billion?
You tell me. One thing I know for sure, is that if there are billion people who support this cause (clearly, I believe there are), then there are most certainly at least ten-thousand smarter people than me who know what to do next with an audience this size to help us coordinate future actions. Clearly, I have my own ideas but the options are endless. With a billion followers, I guarantee whatever it is will be awesome.
What happens if we don't?
Well maybe that says something…OR, maybe it simply says that we need to try harder with a V2. I’ll be the first to admit that this wee attempt by my daughter and I might miss the mark on a global scale. But I don’t think it will – it’s simply a matter of time.
How can I encourage others to get involved?
Think about the most influential (powerful?) people you know. These are the folks in the world we need to get behind this to help steer the herd towards glory. I guarantee you know someone with more influence than yourself! Shake their tree and get them to shake bigger trees.
We are a random father/daughter team from Vancouver, Canada who are not climate activists ourselves but who are deeply in love with the ocean and planet Earth.
We simply want to help spark a tipping point moment of hope in the world by trying something that *just maybe* has never been tried before. Who want to help move our herd along a little faster – including ourselves.
(And honestly, my teenage kid doesn’t think we can get a billion people in the world to agree on anything these days and I have a bet riding on this to prove her wrong and show her that even @taylorswift will join this champagne party!)
