Thank you for joining this historic movement to save our planet. Now lets make it epic by telling all our friends and family to sign so we reach 3 million signatures before world leaders meet on September 23. Forward them the email below and share the link on Facebook! With hope, The Avaaz team ----------- Dear friends, I can sincerely say this is the most important petition weve ever done. Sorry for the language, but one top scientist just warned that we are all f*cked if global warming releases gigantic amounts of methane gas from the arctic tundra. The UN knows this is one of several catastrophic climate threats were facing, and is bringing world leaders to New York for a major summit on this global emergency. Hundreds of thousands of us will take to the streets for the People’s Climate March just before the summit. Let’s make sure that on that day we deliver the largest Avaaz petition ever, for the only solution: mobilize the world to shift to 100% clean energy. Add your voice, and forward this widely: https://secure.avaaz.org/en/100_clean_final/?tuGgvhb Whether its the arctic methane bomb, the rapid acidification of our oceans, or apocalyptic flooding, climate change is the biggest threat humanity is facing, and we need the biggest petition ever to meet it. If we make it massive, the number of us who sign will be read out to all leaders at the summit, published in hundreds of media articles, and be delivered by our marches worldwide. 100% clean energy is a realistic goal. Already, 20% of the worlds electricity comes from clean energy, and solar power is cheaper than coal in many countries! We just need to get our leaders to agree to put their foot on the accelerator. Were gearing up for the largest climate mobilization in history on September 21. Already hundreds of events are organised and hundreds of thousands of people signed up. But the events are designed to deliver our petition to decision makers. Lets make it the largest call to action ever. Join now and tell everyone - sign the petition below: https://secure.avaaz.org/en/100_clean_final/?tuGgvhb Were all different, and beautifully diverse. But whoever and wherever we are, climate change threatens everything we love, and brings all of us together. Lets come together now. With hope, Ricken, Danny, Lisa, Judy, Alex, Iain, and the rest of the Avaaz team PS - Every signature does count!
