The next global action being coordinated by Bill McKibben and the good people at 350.org is set to be held September 24th, 2011. Called Moving Planet, this worldwide rally to demand solutions to the climate crisis will literally mobilize tens of thousands of people around the world on a single day to inspire the greater movement away from fossil fuels.
The idea is that thousands of grass-roots events will be created for bike, skates, boards, wheels or just good ol’ foot power demonstrating the willingness of individuals to mobilize to shape a carbon-neutral economy.
The event page reads, “For too long, our leaders have denied and delayed, compromised and caved. That era must come to an end: it’s time to get moving on the climate crisis.”
We initially learned of the plan from Bill’s inspired speech at Power Shift 2011
Also speaking were Al Gore and Van Jones
350.org has successfully coordinated at least 3 massively successful global actions in recent years and just partnered with 1Sky to form a more robust organization.
We’ll keep you posted on related events in our area as we learn about them.
