There are things we can do to make a difference to the future of our planet. Let's all share how we feel right now and promise to act for a better future.

Since we launched just over a month ago, a lot has changed for all of us. Ourselves at #IPromiseToAct are mothers, fathers, daughters, roommates and renters, and we are working and living very differently now to how we were only a few weeks ago. (1/4)

According to a new poll, almost 90% of us now believe that climate change is a problem, yet the environment has hardly made a headline this election campaign. So if you care about the environment, who should you vote for? @sbekessy #Studio10 #auspol #ausvotes #climatechange

Do you need more ideas and maybe some motivation from others to make changes and stay on track?

Here's something fun you can do for Aust's natural environment next week. Get outside, enjoy some sun & count the birds in your yard - it's good for science and good for you too. All experience levels allowed - the app has handy bird ID help too! https://t.co/OlH0e8kp0G

Threatened Species Day again! With last summer's bushfires & the looming threat of weakened environmental laws it's hard to be optimistic in 2020.

The #COVID19 + #natureconnection survey we ran during the first #lockdown shows that people are valuing nature more, but access to #nature is reduced. For those without #greenspace close to home, lockdowns have been especially hard.

The Great Barrier Reef is such an emotional roller coaster. So much beauty, but so much destroyed. The only way we can save it is for the world to reduce emissions. Now. #FightForPlanetA

Here's another way to make a difference, even during lock-down (if that's where you are).

The ABC's Carbon Counter helps you work out what your carbon footprint is and how you can save CO2 through simple lifestyle changes 👇

Here's a positive story from lockdown. @UrbanBirdsOz backyard surveys increased 10-fold in 2020, revealing important information about bushfire affected species https://t.co/jD2FIa8ru3. Inspired? Find out how to do your own survey & make it count here 👉https://t.co/4MEiHAHmU4 🦜

The federal government has stopped properly listing and assessing major threats to Australian wildlife under environmental laws, a move Andrew Cox, chief executive of the Invasive Species Council describes as 'shocking' 🤯🌿🐨 https://t.co/qvQBRda0ge

[I Promise To Act @IPromiseToAct]

As we start to make plans for COVID-19 recovery, we need to remember what we've learnt from the past few months. We can take actions that both help recovery and move towards a brighter future for our climate. 🌏🌿👫 https://t.co/jzszUD3pnD

Want to help? Keep an eye on the update to our nature laws (the EPBC Act) currently under review ➡️ https://t.co/5Yc9ePtLAc

As we reckon with the COVID-19 crisis, the impact of last summer's bushfire crisis on our plants and wildlife is only now being fully understood. For some 30% of their habitat was burned and urgent intervention is needed to ensure their survival. https://t.co/v2NuJbAX2C

We encourage you to support yourself and your community through this time, and when you are able, consider making a promise to act for our planet that you can meet at home or some time in the future. Take care 💚 (4/4)

We know that depending on where you are and your own personal circumstances, making a promise to act may not be a priority (or even possible) for you right now. (3/4)
