Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I know whether to join the Paris or Pittsburgh Climate Accord? 

Easy: If you are a country, Paris is your Accord, but chances are you are already signed up! If you are a person, sign up for the Pittsburgh Climate Accord. That is especially important if you live in Syria, or the US, because your countries are not/no longer in the Paris accord.

2. I don’t live in Pittsburgh, can I sign up nevertheless? 

Yup!

3. Is this some kind of  liberal democrat thing?

No, we have a strict "planet-before-politics" policy!

4. Are you going to send annoying emails?

Not unless you specifically ask us to. And, hey, we have a pretty busy life so chances are we won't email you even if you ask us to... The core idea of the Pittsburgh Climate Accord is to create networks of people in the real world, not on the internet.

5. What information should I put into my pledge?

The more the better, but if you just want to put in some bullet points, that's a good start. If you want to actually do the numbers and come up with a percentage reduction then you are already way ahead of us! If you want, send us the name of your city and your neighborhood; at some point we may be able to make a cool map.
