After decades of debate, the evidence linking human activity to global warming is now too compelling to ignore. The culprit, greenhouse gasses are produced on a massive scale around the world: just one American generates 22 tons of CO2 annually. At current emission rates, global temperatures are expected to rise 4°C (7°F) in the next 40 years. Taking the lead, American Express has joined with TakePart to bring you opportunities to make a difference.
It starts with you and your first step. Whether it's one volunteer hour, one mouse click, or one dollar, we all have a part to play and something to give. Members Project from American Express, in partnership with TakePart, makes taking your first step simple, by providing a platform to express your passion in small, manageable actions. Everyone can get involved.
Whether it’s voting for a favorite charity to receive funding from American Express, volunteering time, donating, or telling friends, everyone can take a small step with Members Project and start making a difference.
