Hey everyone,

What do school children in Kabul have in common with the
Victorian town of Emerald?

They will all join our friends at 350.org for "The Global Work Party".
Together on October 10, we'll get to work in our communities on
projects that build the clean energy future.

With your help, 10/10/10 is going to be the biggest day of
practical action to cut pollution that the world has ever seen.

The buzz is building. Every day
new events are registered for 10/10/10
in Australia. Just this week we hit a milestone: every state and territory
has an event for 10/10/10. Find one here. And if you can’t find one,
why not start your own.

Let’s use the day to pressure our leaders to Get To Work
themselves right away on strong actions to cut pollution and
make clean energy cheaper.

Thousands of people around the world have registered their plans, i
ncluding bike repair workshoppers in San Francisco, school insulating
teams in London, wasteland-to-veggies gardeners in New Zealand,
and solar panel installers in Kenya.

Will you be one of them?


The day will kick off with President Nasheed of the Maldives installing
solar panels on his roof.

Three hundred universities in China and India have entered the
Great Power Race to install clean energy on their campuses.

The 10,000th seedling will be planted in Emerald, Victoria, and school
children from Kabul, Afghanistan have the same goal.

In Eastern Europe thousands of schools have been recruited to plant
trees for 10/10/10.

There are less than two weeks to go – if you haven't found an
event yet, there’s still time. Find one, or start your own, here.

Let's get to work,
