October 24 The International Climate Action Day, London. Hundreds of us are near the London Eye forming a giant 5. A part of the 350 campaign worldwide. It’s a proud day for all of us to be a part of the biggest environmental protest in the history of the world.

The gentleman on the bicycle carries a message: Love your mum. He is calling the passersby to come and join in the action. Kids listen to him, enchanted.

We move along to the instructions and merrily form a 5. We jump and shout and drive home the message:

Wake up leaders, you cannot ignore the people's voices. We want a fair, ambitious and binding deal at Copenhagen.

Thousands of people today in over 170 countries have spoken. The leaders don’t have a choice anymore.

Thank you Bill McKibben and the 350.org team. And a big shout out to the people in the world who participated in this campaign.

Here’s a little song sung after we formed the giant 5.

It goes: You got the whole world in your hands.

Look at the kids. It’s their world. It’s their future. And politics isn’t going to take it away from them.

Today, we pledged that in our hearts.

 

And this is what it looked like in the end. Sydney - London - Copenhagen forming 350. (Got this picture from 350.org)
