Global wake up call on climate change. So little time and so much to lose if the countries at the climate talks in Copenhagen this December miss the opportunity to take decisive action. The ticking clock (we are at 'one minute to midnight') is waking up people around the world and especially leaders who will be making decisions on a post-Kyoto framework.
Today there are at least 2,400 events taking place on 5 continents to raise awareness. They range from the diminutive nun with a yellow tambourine at Cambridge's marketplace "flash mob" (unable to get through to Gordon Brown on the phone) to the masked man on an Australian beach giving Kevin Rudd a wake-up call. Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock...

It was exhilarating to be part of this event - empowering to be physically there taking a stand with others like yourselves, as a step beyond online petitions etc. May the energy continue and I look forward to connecting with other Cambridge folk again for similar events....

Green Prodigies: A wake up call from two brothers, ages 8 and 10
Hi, my name is Masha and I'm an intern at WITNESS, an organization that uses online technologies to open the eyes of the world to human rights violations.
WITNESS has just posted a 12-part webisode series about Cam and Sage, two brothers, ages 8 and 10, who explain what they're doing to reduce their carbon footprint. http://hub.witness.org/GreenProdigies
Earlier this year, Priscila Neri and Kelly Matheson of WITNESS traveled to an Environmental Law conference in Eugene, Oregon to interview activists and create a video about the overlapping relationship between Environmental Rights and Human Rights. http://hub.witness.org/ELAWInterviews
Amongst their interviewees were Cam and Sage, two brothers taking action on climate change. Check out this webisode series for a lighthearted approach to saving the planet and become inspired to do your part as well.
