Who's On the Ballot

Who Is Running for Office

The destruction of our planet’s ecosystems and the escalating threat of climate change are crises no individual or nation can solve alone. While personal actions—like reducing waste, conserving energy, and cutting carbon emissions—are crucial, they represent only a fraction of the solution. To effectively combat these global challenges, we need coordinated efforts driven by strong leadership at all levels of government. The decisions made by world leaders today will have lasting impacts, determining whether we preserve a livable world for future generations.

Electing leaders who recognize the urgency of these issues and commit to policies addressing climate change, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem destruction is critical to any long-term strategy. By staying informed about candidates and their stances on crucial environmental issues, we can elect those ready to take bold action. It’s not just about our individual choices—it’s joining with others to empower leaders who will drive the global policies needed to protect our planet.

Tracking Candidates

To make informed decisions on who to vote for, it helps to know who is running. Researching a candidate’s positions on the issues is necessary if you want to elect people whose views coincide with those that are important to you.

Ballotpedia has an excellent sample ballot lookup tool. It’s a great way to find out who in your election district is running, so you can do some snooping to find out what they stand for.

Protecting against devastating climate change, species extinction, and the eco-destruction of tropical forests deserves more thoughtful consideration than playing:
One Trump, two Kamala, three Trump, four,
Five Kamala, six Trump, seven Kamala, more,
One Trump, two Kamala, I choose you!
