International Day of Climate Action is tomorrow – people around the world will be doing group activities to show their support for cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, with 350.org presenting photos and petitions from all the groups to world leaders. See this map to find out what’s happening near you on Saturday 24th October. So far I know about a bike ride and a visit to state parliament in Perth, plus some cupcake action in Melbourne!

If you don’t have an action happening near you, it might be a bit late to get an official one going. But grab some friends, make a sign, and send a photo of yourselves to 350.org to show your support for a 350ppm target for the Earth. You can see more photos at the 350.org Flickr site.
