Lights, Camera, Climate Action
Day of Action: Oct. 24
The UN's meeting about a global climate treaty, and you're invited. Sort of.
Chances are, you've probably heard that big stuff is going down in Copenhagen this December. While a flight to an onsite rally might be out of the question, a quick day trip over to a festival or march is totally doable. You'll be in good company - whether you're in Bangladesh (with school children planting 350 trees), Papua, New Guinea (they've got 8 events planned so far), or FL (they've got 44) - local organizers are coming up with creative ways to send a strong message to world leaders that we need to stop global warming, like, now. How? By reducing our CO2 levels to 350 ppm (instead of today's dangerously high 390).
Chicagoans can choose from 23 local actions, from a march against one of the area's biggest coal polluters at Pilsen's Fisk Generating Plant to a festival in Roger's Park complete with speakers, bands, and veggie eats. Don't live in Chicago? Find closer options here.
