This is a community where we can support each other as we try and settle into new green habits. Your membership will help you tap into many forms of support and encouragement, including courses and tutorials, vetted directories and articles, good news, chats, discussion boards, interviews, expert talks, online field trips, resources and freebies like workbooks, guides, recipes, and meditations, and perks like discounts, coupons, and rewards.

For a deeper dive, future tiers of membership may be able to receive 1:1 coaching, green gifts and products, and a dedicated buddy group to meet with regularly. I also hope to expand into retreats, conferences, and even microgrants for your green projects!

Everyone will have access to replays in the archive forever, as well as votes on upcoming content and which organizations receive UpRoot donations.

You are helping all of this grow with sturdy roots and stems, so thank you!!

As much or as little as you would like! Classes, resources, and recordings will be available in your dashboard, so you can jump in and out as makes sense for you.

If you want to put in more time, there will be plenty of workbook activities and green living ideas to try, along with live events, chats to watch and more, so you'll never run out of inspiration!

Some months will feature live interviews, virtual field trips, or community conversations, while others will feature courses or tutorials to support your green efforts. This way, you'll have multiple ways to plug in each week, month, season, and even year.

We will have a combination of scheduled and member-directed ways to connect including chats, polls, DMs, Q&A meetings, and other pre-recorded and live courses, tutorials, and events.

Our membership is geared toward helping each other find and keep doing green activities that are fulfilling, doable, and fun for each of us specifically. The courses, workbooks, and other resources provided are all designed to help you with this, and the community is here to support you in your endeavors!

Once offered, you may also wish to join a smaller buddy group to meet regularly, supercharging your efforts.

Studies have shown that we all are more likely to do something -- even things that we really want to do -- when we have accountability friends along for the ride. And, when we fall in love with that activity along the way, we're much more likely to continue with it! Therefore, all content in the Sustainable Superhero Society is created to support these ways of learning, embarking, and taking action.

When you join and throughout your membership, you'll be encouraged to share what you're hoping to get out of this space, questions you have, things you're struggling with, topics you'd like to explore, requests you have, etc. -- helping to shape the community to serve what truly interests and helps you!

Perhaps a hug, a walk in the woods, a cuddle with a baby sheep, a rainbow, being at the top of a mountain at sunrise, having tea with a close friend... all ways of saying safe, encouraging, inspiring, and warm!

The Sustainability Superhero Society is a safe space for exploration, learning, human connection, and positive Earth care. We absolutely will not tolerate hateful, bigoted, or threatening language or behavior. This club reserves the right to terminate your membership should you harm, harass, threaten, or otherwise endanger other members or damage the club's integrity or success. You also may not promote, solicit, or evangelize for other institutions, religions or causes, nor abuse copyright in this space.

On a scale of tea-with-a-friend to tarot, this club is more tea-with-a-friend. We engage with spirit and body exercises and with botanical and ecological methods based in scientific information. Our focus is grounded in real-life learning and action. This club is not religious and does not practice any new age methodologies such as astrology. Likewise, while this is a safe and supportive space, we encourage you to utilize healing methods outside of the group if you are struggling, such as talk therapy.

We'd love to have you there of course! But if you can't make it, you can always watch the replay.

That's great! Going through a transition and trying new things is made infinitely easier and more fun in a group structure than on your own. That's why we have this community! This is a welcoming space where we meet each other where we're at. Activities and resources are yours to use however they help you the most.

That's also great! We offer anyone experienced in green living ways to stick with, expand, or breathe new life into your practice, as well as to meet new friends who share your concern and devotion to our Earth. You may also be invited to mentor and guide those who are new to this group, if you're interested in that sorta thang.

Yes! As long as you have an active membership, you will be able to access everything in the library.

Nope! You will have lifetime access to the archives, as long as you are an active member.

There is not one correct way to be an environmentalist, but we are often made to feel that there is (and therefore we are "doing it wrong"). Selling us on this fiction helps companies from fossil fuel corporations to luxury "eco" brands turn sustainability into a lofty impossibility, rather than a solution for our planet that everyone can be -- should be! -- part of.

So if you've ever felt discouraged, excluded, overwhelmed, demotivated, afraid, or powerless about the climate solutions available to you, this club is here to remedy that!

Here, you will be heard. Here, your efforts will be appreciated and encouraged. Here, your dreams will become doable steps. Here, you will have help and inspiration from others striving alongside you. Here, you will hit your goals and then some. Here, we will all do what we actually can to make a difference, rather than performing for optics or sales. Here, you can be your true self, and use your own strengths to help heal the planet.

For everyone from minimalist vegans to maximalist world travelers, this community will help you identify and take action in ways that make sense for you. We make green living fun!

Skillshare is a platform where you can take classes at your own pace. While our community will include this type of courses, we will also have access to much more interaction and content that allows you to engage more deeply, make new friends, and continue being active for your health and the health of our planet. Yes, we are learning new things and keeping it fresh, but we're also here to know and help each other over a longer period of time, in more supportive, personalized, and meaningful ways.

Unlike Facebook, our community helps us keep conversation organized in a searchable, truly usable way. In our club, your posts will be seen and responded to. We've got better features for everything from live events to building true friendships -- this group is not about curated content for optics, but is a space for authentic connection and growth. Here, we don't rely on an algorithm optimized for Facebook's revenue rather than your experience, so you'll see relevant content that truly inspires your green goals. And no trolls or ads, either.

Yes! As a Founding Member, you are able to join for free right now.

(If you want to support the launch financially, that of course is an awesome, welcome gesture! You can donate to help us get started via Venmo here.)

Yes, anytime! Your participation is fully up to you. Contact hello@uprootdesignstudio.com with any questions.
