Yoga for Climate Action at a Glance
The Yoga for Climate Action collective is made up of practitioners who share a desire to address climate change that is causing so much suffering on our planet today and into the future. While we look to modify our lives to be more sustainable, we also look to organizations to tackle big issues like government programs and international consensus on action. By participating in Yoga for Climate Action we are raising our communal voice to empower change for the better.
Yoga for Climate Action Donations
Because so many separate efforts are needed to enact climate action and social justice, Yoga for Climate Action now partners with four important nonprofit organizations, each with a different mission and focus.
As a group or individual, please choose the effort that speaks most to your passions and interests.
Good Food Institute
The Good Food Institute is a nonprofit think tank working to make the global food system better for the planet, people, and animals. Alongside scientists, businesses, and policymakers, GFI’s teams focus on making plant-based and cultivated meat delicious, affordable, and accessible.
