Motivation is a powerful force behind any successful campaign. However when motivation connects with the issue of everyone's life, it becomes a common voice that everyone wants to talk about. "Make Your Own Climate Volunteers" is also one of the campaigns which seeks motivation among people and asks them to come forward and act positively on climate change.

It all depends upon your smart thinking how you make your plans simple, workable and interesting. Choose your best friends, colleagues and/or neighbors, even online friends using the social media. Select one theme which is more appealing to you and your circle of friends. The first principle is motivation that will help you organize your group and start action. Think of time limit and coverage area for your action i.e., your neighbor, school, university, hamlet or wide range of friends using social media like Facebook, Twitter, Linked In, etc. Choose your time in a way which doesn't stop you from your routine work. Most importantly, motivate at least one member of your group to take similar or different action so that new groups can be formed for more actions. Don't forget to share some good PHOTOS with us!
