Global Day of Climate Action

From Live Earth

Take Action for the Climate This Weekend! With nearly 200 countries discussing the future of the planet at the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen this week and next, NOW is the time to show your support with thousands of others.
This weekend people around the world are taking action on climate change. The folks at 350.org, Avaaz, and tcktcktck are holding candlelight vigils, creating signing walls and ringing church bells. Find your local action here, and be part of the global movement to solve climate change: http://www.350.org/map. If there's no action near you, it's not too late to sign up and host one!
This global weekend of action unfolds during the very middle of the Copenhagen climate negotiations, and 350.org will use your images, videos, and stories to show world leaders that people around the world from all backgrounds are ready for a real climate deal. The impacts of climate change are mounting every day, but we still have time to put ourselves on the path to a better world. We need to build the world's largest mandate for action. Are you ready?

The World Wants a Real Deal
The World Wants a Real Deal is a mass mobilization with over 2,500 events taking place in more than 125 countries. At candlelight vigils, marches and special events at temporary walls built in key capitals, people from all walks of life will write messages, post photos and sign their names onto the call for a Fair, Ambitious and Binding climate treaty.
The TckTckTck petition has been signed by more than 11 million people from every country in the world -- sign on to the petition here and show the world you're serious about taking action: http://tcktcktck.org/people/i-am-ready.
