Last week replyforall filled you in on a few of the top down actions that are taking shape to battle our changing climate.  But this past weekend was a perfect example of how the actions of individuals can form a worldwide movement for change.

If there’s one thing people across the world have in common, it’s mother earth.  So forming a grassroots movement around climate change means putting down roots not just in our communities, not just in our nation, but in all nations.  One nonprofit, 350.org, got the message and set out to fight climate change with a global call to action.

October 24th was the International Day of Climate Change Action, and individuals joined together in solidarity across 181 countries. With over 5,200 actions across the world, these activists put pressure on their respective governments to take the action into legislation.  Perfect timing, as the world’s leaders are gearing up for talks in Copenhagen on an international climate agreement.

replyforall stood in solidarity bypartnering with 350.org to promote the Oct. 24th actions.  If didn’t make it out on Oct. 24th you can support the fight against climate change just by adding the replyforall signature to your email.  By donating some space at the bottom of your email, you can raise awareness about global warming and garner donations for ClimateCounts.org and the Clean Energy Coalition.

We’re obviously taking action to make our voices heard in the climate debate, and hopefully the government will follow in our footsteps!

You can check out some more of the awesome photos from the world– there are over 19, 000 of them!– at 350.org’s flickr site.

With all the action around climate change from both the top down and the bottom up, it’s impossible to think no one cares about climate change.  Did you participate with 350 on Oct.24th? Shoot me your pics and we’ll be sure to share them on replyforall.com. Stay tuned next week when replyforall tackles the issue of changing public perceptions in the climate change debate.

Fight the Good Fight,
