London - Day of ActionThe weather cleared and yesterday, Sat December 8th, was a gorgeous day in Auckland. When the Be The Change bus crew set up our open day exhibition in Weston Park, we were also kick-starting the day of action globally.

Aucklanders came to visit the bus and enjoy the Climate Rescue Carnival, but also to take part in the human banner. Our ‘Climate SOS’ yesterday was our part of the collective voice that called out to the UN Climate Conference taking place in Bali at the moment.

Over the last day tens of thousands of people around the world have repeated this message. Ten thousand people marched in Germany, ten thousand in Taiwan, two thousand in Uganda, six thousand in London despite the rain… and the list goes on.

Something about taking to the road on a mission appeals to me, and I can't think of a more worthy cause than doing some little thing to save our planet from distruction.

When I was kid ( a long time ago) I used to love to run 'round with no clothes on and enjoy the sun.

Now, you wouldn't send a kid out without plastering them with sun block or covering them from head to foot with protective clothing... or both.

Hello New Zealand!

This is the first blog post on the new Be The Change website but it sure won't be the last. We've got some great things planned so there's going to be lots more to come ... not least of which is the Be The Change Bus Tour! I can't give away much at the moment but watch this space.

Have a look around the site ... make sure you get registered and then you can set up your Be The Change pledge list. Just browse the list of actions and click on the ones you're keen to do (or are already doing).
