CLIMERICK: Lots of People Ask ‘What Can I Do?

 

Lots of people ask ‘What can I do

to build up a powerful world-view

that leaders must act 

on dire climate facts?’

Talk about them! Help others chat too.

Many more Climericks to help prompt Climate concern 

conversations can be found elsewhere on this site

and some are available to raise awareness by sending a card

or displaying a poster . These are available from the CLIMERICK

CLIMERICK: Don’t Reach For that Ignition Key! By John Hobbs

Today a CLIMERICK from my very long-standing friend - now living on Vancouver Island: Thanks John.

Don’t reach for that ignition key!

can you walk there? Or cycle? Just see:

there’ll be less greenhouse gas

and less flab on your ass -

a win-win for you and for me!

Many more Climericks can be found elsewhere on this site

 and some are available in card or poster form from

NEW! CLIMERICK CARDS AND POSTERS at the CLIMERICK CARD SHOP

Here’s the first poster available from the new Climerick Cards shop. It’s available in A3 and A4 sizes or can be downloaded. To find out more, go to the etsy shop by clicking HERE or typing http://bit.ly/46aZeaK into your browser. (underlining not needed)

The same theme is available from the shop on A5 cards or in a set with two further climericks in A6 size.

What better way of letting friends who visit you know of your concern - with a light-hearted touch? 

Not serious enough for such a major concern? Take a look at some of the CLIMERICKS that have been posted to this blog in the last couple of years. You will find the hopeful, the challenging, the thoughtful and the downright daft! Together they give some idea of how our card and poster portfolios might develop over time. Whatever mode they are, they are intended to provoke discussion on the biggest issue of today - and thereby help many people to realise they can take action that will help to hasten the end of the dirty, dangerous fossil fuels era and help usher in the new era of Clean air technologies - already outstripping COGS (Coal, oil, gas and shale) in delivery terms, mainly due to investment by developing nations, and China (according to a BBC report 7th October 2025).

The CLIMERICK posted on 12th September looks forward to reinforcement of that trend. You can have a look at that by clicking HERE .

NEW! CLIMERICK CARDS and POSTERS to show your concern about the climate

As from today, you can obtain CLIMERICK CARDS and POSTERS from a newly opened CLIMERICK CARDS Etsy shop. Just follow the link in image below which, in case it’s difficult to read on a phone is http://bit.ly/46aZeaK

You can also access the shop via the QR code here

CARDS are available in A5 and A6 versions and POSTERS (hard copies in A3 and A4) and a download.

The cards and poster currently available are FIRST EDITIONS with a limited range while we find our feet. Once our systems have settled and we have more clarity on what customers like, we expect to offer a much wider range of both posters and message cards. So watch this space and be among the first to provoke climate change interest among your friends, family and workplace peers by thoughtful use of the material.

How about lining up your first CLIMERICK campaign for SUSTAINABILITY DAY for the fourth Wednesday of October (This year 2025 - 22nd October)?

OR maybe for anyone you know involved with or influential at COP30 from 10th -24th November.

Though one person's commitment is small

In saving the Earth for us all,

If billions try,

There's a chance we'll get by,

So GET OUT AND DO IT, Y’all!

Young People All Over The Earth.

Young people all over the earth,

need leaders who realise the worth

of the next generations,

threatened by fossil fuel’s curse.

Councils with streetlights bright

Are reducing insects in flight

Trees' leaves grow so tough

Larvae can’t eat enough

Must you leave streetlights shining all night?
