ACTIONISM
CONCEPT
​The Re-Action Collective are a group of organisations who take action on the climate crisis with initiatives within their communities. Pockets of communities around the world are making changes to their local area and it is becoming infectious. They need young people who are the future of this planet to continue the journey and create a generational impact to how communities can function with joy and happiness, while a stark future can start to feel further away.
Synopsis

She's not trying to save the world, but she is getting involved with communities and groups who are making a difference. Little by little, she learns and adopts skills and friends that make her climate anxiety feel less and less.
