Terramedic

Terramedic is a SvelteKit-powered platform providing resources, volunteer opportunities, and actionable solutions for climate advocacy and sustainable living.

Climate Action Hub

This website is designed to accompany warming stripes buttons distributed at climate outreach events. The site explains what warming stripes represent and guides visitors toward meaningful climate action through volunteering or donations.

Public Domain Dedication for the term “terramedic”

Leila Hadj-Chikh came up with the word “TerraMedics” as the name for her team at Conservation X Labs' Make for the Planet competition at the inaugural Earth Optimism Summit in 2017 in Washington, DC.

The term "terramedic" is now intentionally placed in the public domain by the originator of this term. It is free for anyone to use, share, adapt, and apply in any context — without restriction or attribution.

This dedication is made under Creative Commons Zero (CC0 1.0 Universal), which waives all rights to the term and affirms that it is not, and should not be, treated as a trademark or proprietary label.

We encourage everyone to use “terramedics” to describe individuals and communities caring for the Earth.
