Hi HN!

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the global climate crisis. I made this as a response to the problem, ”I don’t know what I can do to help”.

https://collective.energy is a community for crowdsourcing climate solutions & actions. The platform empowers individuals by providing inspiration, feedback, and an audience. Turn climate ideas into plans into reality - all in one place.

Feel free to make an account and post. It's far from perfect but let me know what you think. I'd love helpful feedback.

Thanks, Eric (Collective.Energy maker)

Great initiative! You should have a look at https://www.tmrow.com, they are building tools which allow anyone to understand the climate impact of their decisions. The "pragmatic guide" they wrote about climate change (https://www.tmrow.com/climatechange) is one of the best I've read on the topic, as it is very well documented and provide actionable insights.

This is awesome. The focus on climate pragmatism is exactly what we'd like to channel. I'll post about it on Collective.Energy - if you're involved with tmrow, get in touch!

Looks great! I love how responsive it is. Did you code it or did you use an existing platform?

Thanks! I leveraged an open source Node.js based discussion platform called NodeBB. It's similar to Discourse but not made in Ruby on Rails. I cloned the base repo but then was quite liberal in customizing it to my own needs and extending the functionality. Any other feedback is very welcome, it's a work in progress!

Nice! I was going to ask the same question. It's great to know about nodeBB. Great work on the platform!
