  • FLASH MOB! Glasgow, Mon 21st Sept, George Square

    Hi guys,
    just to let you know about something amazing happening in Glasgow on Monday 21st, at George Square at 4.30pm...
    y'know the tv adverts where people are milling about in the train station, then they suddenly all start dancing?? well, that's a flash mob, and there's one happening in Glasgow on Monday, but this time for a good cause. We want to turn up the volume on our climate change campaign, and give world leaders a wake up call!!
    so, come along to George Square at 4.30 and be ready to make a noise! when you arrive, just mill about, then at 4.33pm exactly, there will be a signal and we'll all count down from 100-0. bring bells, drums, whistles, anything that makes a noise.
    find out more here http://www.avaaz.org/en/sept21_rsvp/...
    and see you there on Monday!!
    :-)

  • Thanks to you guys, Scotland now has a world-leading Climate Change Bill!

    Thanks to everyone who took part in the Global Warning campaign! Scotland now has a climate change bill we can be proud of, that does our fair share to tackle climate change, and that will really make a difference for those living in poverty.
    Theresa, who works with SCIAF partners in El Salvador, said:
    “This is a wonderful thing. Climate change is a global problem that will affect us all, but is already affecting the most vulnerable. Scotland is looking outwards at one world, saying we are all in this together, extending a hand of solidarity. You are doing something to change the structures that cause poverty- this law is going to have a tremendous effect.”
    Thanks everyone! :D
    PS- don't forget to take the next action: making sure the global climate deal is as good as the Scottish one!! go to www.sciaf.org.uk/climatejustice to be part of it!
