Did you know that 80% of the laws affecting our climate and environment are decided at an EU Parliament level?
From 6 – 9 June this year, 400 million Europeans are eligible to vote in the upcoming parliamentary elections. Using that right and power is one of the most important things European citizens can do for the planet over the next five years.
Individual action can really make a difference. Think of it this way: there are an estimated 60 million skiers and snowboarders in Europe: that’s a third of the number who voted in the last EU elections (approximately 200 million). Imagine what we could achieve if we joined forces with the rest of the outdoor community and involved all the ocean and mountain lovers: climbers, mountain bikers, trail runners, surfers, free-divers and sailors. If we all “Give a shit and VOTE”, we can be a powerful force and make a meaningful impact on climate change policy!
Ahead of the 2024 EU Elections, Protect Our Winters and Ocean Born Foundation unite to connect our ocean and mountain communities, to activate our respective communities and use the power of our votes to demand the most ambitious environmental and climate actions from politicians.
Your passion for the outdoors can help you save it.
