Impromptu action in support of Tuvalu - Copenhagen

Today at the UN climate talks in Copenhagen, the Tuvalu delegation called for a legally binding treaty coming out of the negotiations. They were rebuffed by China and India, among others, who made discouraging statements about the potential for a treaty. The talks were suspended for a few hours, at which time an impromptu civil society action took place in support of Tuvalu and a fair, ambitious and binding deal.

Its time we stood up for each one of us who deserve a right to live. What many of us fail to realize is what we are doing to the environment is just irreparable damage unless every country acts together to protect the environment. Its time the US legislators woke up and change the ways and thus also be able to provide more green opportunities to help improve our environment.
