Get Involved Today!
Cool Davis is forever encouraging community members to Get Involved — either with us, our partners, or any other organization or entity that is working to reduce emissions and build resilience. The recently wrapped up Earth Day Pledge included Get Involved actions like
- Share about climate with 5 friends or family every month (talk about it!)
- Start or join a neighborhood connecting, sharing, or safety group
- Host a connecting event for your friends, family, neighborhood, church, or school
- Volunteer with a climate or resilience organization, community garden, or school environmental club
- Attend City Council and/or City Commission meetings for agenda topics related to climate and resilience
Our recently published, three part series about climate anxiety authored by Patricia Moore of 350Sac lays out some of the myriad benefits of collective action including enhanced well-being and generating “a stronger sense of hope, purpose, and connection.” She also includes lots of Get Involved ideas!
If you’re busy or just don’t have the time right now, consider a donation to a local org as your way to Get Involved! This Thursday is the Big Day of Giving … all day up to midnight … and local non-profits need your support! Visit the Cool Davis BDOG page where you can also browse for other organizations to spread your generosity! Stand with Cool Davis because the future belongs to everyone!
PLUS chances are … the workplace, social club, school, or neighborhood you are already a part of has a committee, representative, group, or gathering focused on the climate and reducing emissions! ASK AROUND!

Cool Davis is hoping all our friends living in Rancho Yolo remain well! This is a reminder of our fragile grid and the need to look after each other during heat emergencies. Hurray that the City of Davis City now has Social Services staff to join City of Davis Fire Department to assist when a vulnerable neighborhood's power goes down.
For other down neighborhoods - remember to check on your neighbors! If your power is still on consider ways to reduce your energy use pre-cool , cover windows, delay appliance use, double up with neighbors in a cool location - cooling center (see City post for cooling center info), movie theater etc to reduce loads. After the emergency, move forward on your plans for how you will reduce and manage energy use in the future. We have to stand together to adapt to new climate challenges. Cool Davis and our many partners are here to help.
