Why ants?One ant can't move a log. A colony can.
Climate change can make you feel like one tiny ant up against something huge. ActAnt gives you one thing to do today, then shows you everyone else who did it too.
of young people are very or extremely worried about climate change. ActAnt gives that worry somewhere to go.Hickman et al., The Lancet Planetary Health, 2021 (10,000 people aged 16–25 across 10 countries).
What everyone did today. All in one day
Example recap with illustrative numbers. Assumes ~1.5 kg CO₂e saved per meat-free meal, ~10 g per piece of litter and ~7.6 kg CO₂e per new item avoided. Car and tree equivalents use US EPA figures (4.6 t CO₂ per car per year; 0.06 t CO₂ per tree over 10 years).
Ants have been doing collective action for over 100 million years.
Here's what they know.
ants live on Earth, around 2.5 million for every human. Each one is tiny. Together they outweigh all wild birds and mammals combined.
Small never means insignificant.When an ant finds food it lays a scent trail. Every ant that follows makes the trail stronger, so the best routes win.
That's how one habit becomes the colony's habit.When floods hit, fire ants link their legs and jaws into a waterproof raft and float until it's safe.
When it gets hard, the colony holds on together.The queen doesn't give orders. Each ant reacts to the ants around it, and the colony works out what to do.
Nobody's waiting for permission. Neither should we.Sources: Schultheiss et al., PNAS, 2022 (ant population and biomass); Mlot et al., PNAS, 2011 (fire ant rafts).
