At this point, our planet is the warmest it has ever been in the past 800,000 years; since the 1950s, half of the world’s coral reefs have died.
Without proper action, climate change could be irreversible by 2030. This means extreme heat, droughts, widespread flooding, and the extinction of more than a million species.
But what have we all done so far to fight climate change and protect the planet we call home? Not enough, apparently—but it’s not too late to start now. So, where do we begin?
This Earth Day, let’s take a look at these 19 frontline warriors who continue to push for proper action: the planet’s most famous climate change activists. Inspiring and strong-willed, their valuable influence and substantial voices deserve all the attention in the world.
This climate change activist, who was raised within the Otomi-Toltec Indigenous community, was honoured with the UN Spirit Award back in 2018.

Isaias Hernandez’s view on the climate crisis could not possibly be more accurate. According to him it’s “an educational crisis” — and what’s necessary to address it is various “forms of education that can be sustained outside of our institutions.”

Tim Silverwood continues to surf his way to the top as an honourable climate change activist.
As the co-founder of @oceanimpactorg, an organization that invests in businesses that positively impact the ocean, and Take 3 For The Sea, which is a movement that challenges people to take three pieces of garbage with them when they leave the beach, it’s clear that this surfer is one of the ocean’s biggest superheroes.
From being a designer and filmmaker to becoming a celebrated climate change activist, Finn Harries’ work never fails to move audiences as he magnifies the beauty of the planet and the dire state that it’s currently in.
He’s also the co-founder of Earthrise Studio, a digital media company that communicates new ways of thinking about climate, culture, and consciousness.
For Manuela Baron, her world travels ignited her passion for the environment. Seeing severe cases of plastic pollution made her dive into a more sustainable lifestyle.
Today, she actively educates and raises awareness on eco-issues and solutions through her platform, “The Girl Gone Green.”
“Going green” can be applied to so many aspects of life—even more than you’d initially imagine. In Kristy Drutman’s case, she’s dedicated to helping people find “green jobs,” which is why she founded the Green Jobs Board.

Are you aiming to increase web traffic or grow your social media presence? Figure out why you’re leveraging paid media in the first place and build your strategy from there. Having clearly defined goals in mind will help you focus on your brand’s key priorities.
Designing strategies that cater to all three stages of the buyer journey ensures that you’re maximizing your brand’s reach. Every user at every stage is valuable—and you have to make sure you’re creating paid media content that speaks to each audience type.
Effective paid media is tied to targeting the right keywords. If you’re leveraging paid search ads to appear on SERPs (search engine results pages), then in-depth research is necessary. Bid on the keywords that are most relevant to your business to trigger only the most effective ad appearances.
Gather your team—because it’s time to start coming up with ad copy that wins attention. The key is to resonate with your audience and inspire engagement. Be real. Be relatable. And most importantly, don’t underestimate the power of creativity.
Do the landing pages on your website effectively push visitors further down the sales funnel? If not, you’re letting potential customers slip through your fingers. Optimize each of your landing pages so that they nudge users towards converting.
The options are plenty when it comes to paid advertising, including Google, Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Microsoft, and Pinterest among others. Analyze who your target demographic is, research where it’s best to connect with them, and then target the platforms where you wish to build awareness.
If you’re ready to build your paid media ad campaign, you’ll find that it will be further broken down into “ad groups” to ensure more effective pay-per-click advertising. These ad groups house one or more ads that have similar targets or categories. Let’s say your brand’s website features categories such as clothing, shoes, and accessories. Creating ad groups according to keywords that fall under these categories will help the PPC system decide when to show ads for these products.
Retargeting ads are bound to succeed because it’s a second shot at a conversion. Visitors have shown interest in the product/service once before, and sometimes all it takes is a little reminder to push them to the checkout page. So don’t forget to retarget and aim better this time.
In the world of paid media, what works and what doesn’t? You’ll have to run A/B tests to find out! Whether you’re testing which keywords bring more traffic or which social platforms earn more ad engagement, you won’t find out what really works for your brand until you test it.
Revisit your initial goals. Did your efforts bring about the results you expected? Tracking results is an essential step in your brand’s paid advertising campaigns. The data you collect from currently running ads will help lay the foundation for your future campaigns.
After tracking your results, you’ll be able to see where adjustments are necessary. There’s always room for improvement, so keep striving to consistently resonate and build trust with your audience—it’s how to create paid ads that pay off.
