Close to Home: Action Guide
Thank you for spending an evening with us at The Bedford Playhouse for Close to Home: Climate, Health, & Hope. Upon hearing from David Pogue, Dr. Amy Brown, Dr. Sandra Steingraber, and Jack Algiere, one thing was clear: the health of our community and the health of our climate are intertwined.
Here’s how to keep the momentum going, starting with a few minutes today.
1. Stay in the loop
Join our newsletter for news, tips, and events that help build a cleaner, healthier community.
2. Show your support
Our silent auction, featuring local experiences, getaways, and one-of-a-kind finds, raises funds for local climate action. Bidding closes at midnight on Sunday, October 4.
Beyond the auction, we raise money every year to offer free climate action resources to our community. As a nonprofit, we rely on our donors to fund these vital services. Every dollar you give supports our work toward a cleaner, healthier community.

4. Vote for a healthy community
Election Day is November 3rd, and early voting is available. Choose candidates who support environmental and climate policy. The New York League of Conservation Voters publishes an annual State Legislative Environmental Scorecard that grades state lawmakers on their environmental record.
5. Help empower future climate leaders
Our Greenlight Program empowers high school students to become the next generation of climate action leaders. Encourage students you know to join the competition, sponsor our 2026-2027 event, become a youth mentor, or serve as a judge.
Thank you!!
Climate action starts close to home, in the choices we make in our yards, our households, and our voting booths. Thank you for being part of it.
