Aotearoa Live – Climate Change Day of Action

July 7 is Aotearoa Live – a day for New Zealanders to express their
concern about climate change.

On that day a series of Live Earth concerts are being held around the
world, to raise awareness about global warming.

Climate change campaigners ClimAction are inviting New Zealanders to take
part in local events.

“Climate change is the greatest threat facing humanity today. Around the
world people will be speaking out at the Live Earth concerts, it’s a great
opportunity to goin our voices with theirs,” said ClimAction spokesperson
David Colyer.

Two events have already been announced: a street parade will leave Aotea
Square at 2 pm, and the concerts will be screened at Tom Forde’s Pub on
Anzac Ave, from eight.

“We invite everyone who is concerned about climate change to join in, or
event come up with their own ideas to mark the day,” Mr Colyer said.

Those planning events or action can keep in touch through the ClimAction
website: www.climaction.org.nz
