The International Day of Climate Action meant 5200+ rallies in 180+ nations — to which Blogger Beach Cleanup added 100+ activists!
Now that the big day has passed, stay involved by joining the campaigns and local nonprofits as we get closer to the Copenhagen Climate Talks in December, when the agreement to replace the Kyoto Treaty will be hashed out.
>> 350.org. Sign up for this campaign’s email list not only to stay on top of climate change issues, but also to call on world leaders to sign “an ambitious, fair, and binding global climate deal.” (what 350 means)
>> TckTckTck. This global alliance brings together both groups and individuals specifically to get people speaking out to shape what happens at the Copenhagen Climate Talks. Like 350.org, TckTckTck invites you to call on your climate leaders ” for an ambitious, fair and binding climate change agreement.”
>>BeyondTalk. The Yes Men have put their fame behind this site, which lets you pledge to engage in civil disobedience to push for a strong climate agreement at the Copenhagen Climate Talks. I’ve signed up — Will you?
>> Heal the Bay. This nonprofit environmental organization dedicated to making Southern California coastal waters and watersheds, including Santa Monica Bay, safe, healthy and clean. If you enjoyed Blogger Beach Cleanup, sign up to join Heal the Bay’s monthly beach cleanups!

>> Natural Resources Defense Council. This environmental action group’s goal’s simple: “to protect wildlife and wild places and to ensure a healthy environment for all life on earth.” Get involved by becoming a member for $10 — or by joining the Activist Network for free.
