Moving Planet is almost here!

Greta Jonyniate | 23.09.11

Moving Planet is almost here! There are just three things you need to know:

1) It's going to be absolutely huge, and you don’t want to miss it -- there will be thousands of events this weekend, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe and just about everywhere in between. There will be rallies and marches and teach-ins and protests of all kinds. If you don't know which event is closest to you on Saturday, click here to search the map.

2) It's vitally important. The truth is, we've got lots of work to do to solve the climate crisis: big polluters are doing everything in their power to delay real climate action, and they are spending huge amounts of money to distort the truth and block progress. But this weekend's events can show the world that a vibrant movement is coming to life -- and that people everywhere are ready to do whatever it takes to move the world beyond fossil fuels.

3) It's about to begin! At the easternmost part of the earth, Moving Planet Day is about to dawn. That means there's not much time left to spread the word to all your networks -- on Facebook, on Twitter, and everywhere else.
