TckTckTck/350 Day of Action, December 12

I'm passing on this message from the Climate Action Network:

World leaders are meeting in Copenhagen at the UN Climate Summit over the next two weeks to negotiate a new global climate agreement.

Between December 11th and 14th, Canadians will be organizing and attending events across the country to send a clear message: The world wants a real deal. That means a climate agreement that is fair, ambitious and binding. Rallies in support of a real deal are being held in major cities in Canada and around the world on December 12th as part of the Global Day of Action.
