Start 2026 With Climate Action Paul H. Sladkus

Austin Tang — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 14:57:49 +0000

Join 2 million people making
climate action a priority in 2026

The World’s Largest Media Platform for Climate Action

Happy New Year!

A New Year Test We Can’t Fail

A new year is not just a reset. It is a test.

The climate backlash is peaking because action is working. As we showed yesterday in “ 120 Climate Wins This Year”, progress triggers resistance. That means 2026 is not the year to slow down. It is the year to push together.

Systemic change is essential. But systems move only when enough people send the same signal, repeatedly, until markets shift and political courage follows. What we buy, what we invest in, how we travel, and how we use energy are not private choices. They are pressure.

That is why your action matters right now.

The fastest way to turn concern into impact is to measure your carbon footprint. It takes five minutes. It shows where your choices matter most. And it puts you inside a growing collective signal.

Already, 2 million people have taken this step using our partner ClimateHero’s calculator. Together, they have pledged to cut nearly 3.8 million tonnes of CO₂ every year, the equivalent of removing 2.5 million diesel cars from the road.

This is not symbolic.
This is how pressure builds.
This is how change becomes unstoppable.

Take 5 minutes. Join the signal.

Log in or create an account in the We Don’t Have Time app
Go to your profile and click “Take this 5-minute test to find out”
Invite two friends to do the same, compare and discuss your results and help grow the signal

If everyone here invites just two people, the impact multiplies exponentially.

Let’s make 2026 the year climate action turns into sustained pressure.
Together, we are the solution to the climate crisis.

Listen to “GoodNewsLetter: Elections Are Over, Work Together, Interviews with Mira Nair, Mother of Zohran Mamdani, Mark Levine, Brad Hoylman-Sigal…” on Spreaker.

Dear Friends and Members,

Voting is over, so now let’s pray we don’t have to hear the best and worst from many and only see Good News from all the candidates. Congratulations to ALL, we have:

FREEDOM TO VOTE, AND FREEDOM IS PEACE.

The Good News is that there are many truly doing public service, and we praise and thank them in Peace and Love. Forward Motion.

We have some local New York City Good News Political stories to share:

The first is the Giving Back Foundation honoring Mira Nair, the Mother of Zohran Mamdani, and a great filmmaker. Zohran grew up seeing the power of her films and also the wisdom of his dad, a Political Science Professor. Here is an Award given to Mira in 2013 by friends at the Giving Back Foundation. Also, here is my interview with Mira and others at the IAAC Indian Awards, also in 2013, in which she discusses Peace.

NOTE: Good News Corporation, a Nonprofit, was created in 2002 by Milestone Broadcast Corporation Founder, Paul Sladkus, who founded a Multicultural Marketing & Media Representative Agency in 1985 and has a long-standing relationship with over 130 ethnic communities worldwide.

I had the experience this year of speaking about two candidates I know and believe in, and I learned a great deal from handing out flyers. I suggest that everyone get some experience with our voting system and candidates, as it can build your respect for our FREEDOM TO VOTE.

PS- I was also the President of my Sleepy Hollow High School Senior Class, so every reunion I have the opportunity to be involved and share some great times, he he!

Here are three interviews that Good News has the honor to share with you. The first is one of the founders of the Working Families Party; the second is our new president of the Manhattan Borough, Brad Holyman-Sigal, talking about FREEDOM, during the celebration victory party, during an interview with the Gay City News that I also recorded and asked short questions. The last was with our friend and Earth and Peace Day Partner, the current Manhattan Borough President, Mark Levine, when he was interviewed on Spectrum TV about becoming the Comptroller of New York City and his stance for overseeing the finances for our NYC Administration for the best for ALL living in New York City.
