International Climate Day of Action

Americans Want Climate Action!
12/06/2008 - 23:00

For the last decade and more, America hasn’t exactly been leading the world to global warming solutions.

But that’s all about to change.

This December, world leaders will be meeting in Poland for the UN Climate Change Conference to decide the next steps on tackling global warming. It’s a perfect opportunity for President-elect Obama to send a clear message to the rest of the world that the U.S. is ready to be part of the solution. That’s why on December 6th, Greenpeace members will be joining people throughout the world for an International Day of Action for Climate Solutions. In the U.S., we’ll be holding rallies and taking photos at iconic locations in over 30 cities to send a message to the President-elect that the American people support strong action on global warming.

What better way to send that message than with a massive 20 by 30 foot postcard -- letting our world leaders know that here in Boston we’re ready for climate solutions! And they’ll know it’s from us because we’re posing in front of Quincy Market.

We’ll have a few speakers, and then we’ll take a massive group photo with our custom-made 20 by 30 ft. postcard-shaped banner, which will say “World Leaders: Americans are ready to save the climate. Love, Boston. P.S: Yes We Can!”

The very next day, our Greenpeace activists in Poland will deliver the photos of Boston’s rally to climate negotiators, sending the message loud and clear that Americans are ready for climate solutions.

To do it, we need you.

Show President-elect Obama and the rest of our leaders that we’re ready for America to lead the world on global warming and RSVP for the day of action in Boston today.

What: International Day of Action for Climate Solutions
When: Saturday, December 6th at 12:00 noon.
