We're sitting here in the temporary 350.org HQ in Washington, DC watching photos stream in from all over the world. They're all a part of today's 10/10/10 Global Work Party, the biggest day of climate action in the planet's history.
About half of the 7,000 events in 188 countries have taken place already. People greeted the sunrise in New Zealand, raced to clean up trash in Beijing, planted thousands of mangroves in the Philippines, installed solar panels in South Africa and Namibia, marched by the thousands in Istanbul, and more.
The best news? There's still much more to come. All around the world, across race and nation, we're sending a clear message to our politicians: we're getting to work, now it's your turn.
Take a look at some of the photos and please help spread the word:

Hydrogen is a real technological solution to air pollution, including CO2.
Good for these feel good people, have fun thinking your making a difference.
Kia Ora is a Maori greeting and Aotearoa is the Maori term for New Zealand which means "Land of the Long White Cloud"
As a progressive, I don't believe a carbon tax is the best route to go. Instead, let's continue to give positive incentives for investment in alternative energies. There was something like $75 Billion dollars in subsidies given to fossil fuels during the Bush administration. This money could have been used to make our energy infrastructure more efficient and to better develop solar and wind power.
Too many people use these threads to mock people for being 'conned by Al Gore'... This is unbelievably short-sighted and misses the point entirely. Believe what you want to believe.. but do not mock others for trying to make a positive change against incredible odds.
