​Everyone has a role to play in solving the climate crisis. What's yours?
We all have a role to play in solving the climate crisis and building a livable future. 

For Earth Day 2022, Climate Smart Missoula and Families for a Livable Climate are partnering to collect community climate stories. Share your climate story through a short video or audio clip (1-2 minutes). We’ll create a compilation of stories to be shared with our community, to inspire others and grow the movement for climate action.

How do I participate?

  • Record a brief (2 minute maximum) video or audio clip of yourself and submit it via this form. Tell us:

    • How do you feel about the climate crisis at this moment? How has it personally impacted you (directly or indirectly)
    • What does a livable future look like to you, and what role do you hope to play in creating it?

  • If you submit an audio clip, please also send a photo of yourself and/or a photo of something related to your climate story.
What happens with my story?

  • Stories will be posted via the Montana Climate Stories website and linked via Climate Smart Missoula/Families for a Livable Climate websites.

  • In addition, some clips (with permission) will be selected to be shown to a live audience in Missoula on Earth Day, April 22nd, as part of Project Earth, a special performance at the Dennison Theater at the University of Montana.
