Today’s crises can be overwhelming, but when we act together, small steps have big impact. Here are our top tips for getting started with actions that resonate with you.

1. Create a free account.

Keep track of your personal progress to help save the ocean and fix the climate. See which petitions you’ve signed and, if you’re a member, watch your forest and reef grow over time and celebrate your milestones in removing plastic and carbon pollution. Simply head to only.one/signup and follow the instructions.

2. Add your name to campaigns.

Head to our Act page to add your name to petitions and sign-on letters for free, get involved in social media activations, and join our mailing list to receive updates on campaigns as we celebrate victories and acknowledge the hard work still left to do.

3. Become a monthly member.

You’ll grow your own forests and reefs, remove plastic and carbon pollution, and see your impact come to life with precise tracking and updates from the field.

4. Grow your ocean knowledge.

The ocean is full of secrets and superpowers.

We promise you’ll go away equipped with amazing facts to share with others inspire you onward in your journey to help restore ocean health and tackle the climate crisis.

5. Create ripples of change.

The more people who get behind the ocean as a precious resource and solution, the more impact we can make together for our planet.
