Newsflash: Avaaz prioritises climate change
I’m a bit of an online activist. As far as environmentalism goes, I keep up with the latest things Get Up!, Avaaz, change.org and The Wilderness Society are doing via email. I’m a bit of a petition signer. Sometimes I write letters and fill in surveys. Occasionally I rally. I never donate because I can’t afford it, unfortunately.
The latest petition from Avaaz is an important one, I think. Avaaz works to help globally in lots of different ways (attempting to overthrow regimes in Iran and Burma, victims of natural disasters, calling for action on climate change and so on). Avaaz is global, so they have a wide reach. The petition is asking whether they should make climate change activism the priority coming up to the UN climate summit in September and the big event in Copenhagen in December. We really need to get world leaders off their arses, so I think the answer has got to be a resounding YES.
Sign Avaaz's 'Tck Tck Tck' petition to call for action on climate change.
Here’s the scripted email Avaaz is encouraging us to send around.

Hi,
I’ve just signed a petition urging world leaders to support an ambitious, fair, and binding global climate treaty. Please sign the petition here, and the campaigners at Avaaz will deliver it to leaders at key moments in the build up to December’s vital UN climate negotiations in Copenhagen.
Thanks!
