Join us in taking action on September 20th for the Global Climate Strike. Following the lead of Greta Thunberg and students everywhere, we’re closing our business to march together and send a message that we want action on the climate crisis. As our co-founder, Donna Carpenter, said in an email to employees:
“The Amazon is literally on fire, the seas are rising and glaciers are melting. I’m proud to have Burton and Chill join Greta’s movement to draw attention to this global crisis.”
If you can’t march, you can still get involved. At Chill we work to support youth to build brighter futures, and since youth created this Climate Strike, let’s follow their lead! We’ve put together a list of ways to show your support, including and outside of the march.

Listen to Greta: be prepared to get inspired…and fired up.
