Led by Bill McKibben, the gang at 350.org is at work again planning for the next big day of climate change action. (Remember last year's? The global momentum was pretty impressive.)

This year's will take place on October 10. The campaign's slogan for the year is: "Get To Work." The idea is to spark leaders to action by starting to lead and create change ourselves.

From 350.org:

Working with our friends at the 10:10 campaign, we're going to make the tenth day of the tenth month of the millennium's tenth year a real starting point for concrete action. We're calling it the 10/10 Global Work Party, and in every corner of the world we hope communities will put up solar panels, insulate homes, erect windmills, plant trees, paint bikepaths, launch or harvest local gardens.


In this video, Bill McKibben and Noam Chomsky discuss climate change (and climate change deniers). Check it out and then visit 350.org to learn more about planning for October—and what you can do in between now and then.
