We're also thrilled to introduce the Pro-Environmental Effort Task (PEET) 🌱

It’s an incentivized, effort-based task that independently varies effort and reward, comparing people’s effort for a climate cause to a matched non-climate cause.

💡 The two interventions with the strongest and most consistent effects were:
1️⃣ Reducing the psychological distance of climate change
2️⃣ Framing climate action as patriotic and protecting our shared way of life

Both meaningfully boosted motivation to put effort for the climate.
