California Volunteers launched an Earth Month campaign urging Californians to take small, home-based steps to help the state reach its climate goals and to join a pledge aimed at a million participants.

Staff member A, a California Volunteers spokesperson, said, "April is Earth Month. There are actions you can take to feel empowered and try to make a difference where you can." The organization asked Californians to visit californiavolunteers.ca.gov to learn about ways to take action and to sign a pledge.

Staff member B, a California Volunteers spokesperson, said, "We need Californians to take action. And what we've done is create opportunities for literally every Californian, whether you have an hour, a day, or a year to give to make a meaningful impact on climate. Where do people go? We are telling everyone who wants to take climate action this Earth Month to go to californiavolunteers.ca.gov. And we have created a climate action counts campaign for every Californian to take a pledge to take climate action with a million other Californians." The spokespeople said the campaign lists 10 activities tied to state climate goals that can be done from home.

California Volunteers provided examples of the home-based activities, saying they include reducing waste and composting, protecting homes from wildfire risk, and saving energy and water. The spokespeople framed the actions as practical steps any resident could take regardless of the time they have available.

The campaign’s website address—californiavolunteers.ca.gov—was cited as the central portal for the pledge and for guidance on the 10 activities. No funding sources, statutory citations, or formal state actions were mentioned in the remarks.

The outreach is described as statewide and aimed at general public participation rather than a targeted program for specific populations. The spokespeople did not provide a start or end date beyond tying the push to Earth Month in April, nor did they provide detail on metrics or verification for the pledge beyond the one-million-participant goal mentioned in the remarks.
