Grassroots: Ecosia and Sunrise Movement

I was browsing through the guilds and challenges in Habitica (http://habitica.com/), when I saw two separate mentions of Ecosia (https://info.ecosia.org/mobile). It seems to be a replacement browser/search engine- it does all the same things that Google does, except it uses the ad revenue to plant trees. So I downloaded it.

Then, while poking around the Ecosia blog (https://blog.ecosia.org/how-you-can-save-the-green-new-deals/), I saw mention of the Sunrise Movement (https://www.sunrisemovement.org/?ms=SunriseMovement). There were Sunrise reps present at the rally at the statehouse on 11/07/20, and I was impressed by them enough that I'd intended to look into it more later on.

So that's cool! It's looking like Sunrise is a bit of a double-sided approach, though I have a lot more reading to do. For Top Down solutions, they are utilizing methods used in the abolition era to get policymakers to listen and act. For Bottom Up solutions, I'm not sure yet. More to come later.
