I started Climate of Change 74 days prior to COP15, thus its URL: http://74days.GOsustainably.com. My commitment to myself was to spend an hour a day learning more about climate change and COP15. On many of those days, an hour turned to three or four; time flies when you decide to share your quest with the world through a blog. More than 74 blog entries tell the story, and there are less than 29, make that 28, hours 'til the conference begins.
This may be the most important meeting of our lives, and there are many ways we can make sure leaders know we want them to consider it so. Below, are a few options. Please let me know, if you have other suggestions to add! I'll see you in the virtual world, as we come together with one loud voice for a climate of change as we go sustainably into the future. (I couldn't help myself!)

Global Day of Action

WORLD WIDE
The World Wants a Real Deal will target key decision-makers in Copenhagen through messaging events in the capitals of their home countries-- the US, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, India, Japan, South Africa, Brazil, Sweden, the UK, Denmark, and the Arab Region -- complemented by similar messaging events in other countries and thousands of candlelight vigils. People will rally at temporary message walls erected in major cities around the globe to write messages, post photos and sign their names to the call for a Real Deal--one that is fair, ambitious and binding. Then at dusk, these message walls will also be the site of candlelight vigils, uniting with thousands of other candlelight vigils of every scale across the world.
