Interactive 'Moving Planet' Shows Thousands Taking Action on Climate Change

This Saturday the world will come together for Moving Planet -- a global day to move beyond fossil fuels. At more than 2,000 events in 169 countries worldwide, people will gather by bike, on skates, with boards or on foot to demand solutions to the climate crisis and to demand government action, especially in places where governments are stalling on climate action despite the overwhelming urgency of the science.

To bring the spirit of the global day of action online, OneWorldUK worked together with the global climate alliance TckTckTck, to develop 'Moving Planet,' an interactive photo gallery and collaborative media project bringing together thousands of photos into one powerful visual of a planet in motion.

Moving Planet is powered by OneWorld UK's "deep zoom" technology, which allows web users to zoom in on the individual photos and videos that make up the full Earth image, and then upload their own photos from the Global Day of Action this Saturday.

Check out 'Moving Planet' below and see for yourself the scope and breadth of the growing movement against fossil fuels. For more information about the Global Day of Action this Saturday, visit http://moving-planet.org.

When we remove the need for BIG OIL, BIG COAL, BIG Ethanol each will be removed from the climate change equation eventually. Energy pollution is easily ignored when power plants, refineries and ethanol production are pushing huge density Co2 exist as obscure remote facilities easily detached in our minds with a dollar bill. All these energy sources have one thing in common besides Co2 and that one thing is energy in MOTION physics. Going Green could be made simple one day as my invention can lead to personal light weight self regenerative axial flux generators just like Nikola Tesla was working toward without even realizing it. http://www.genatco.com

Come on people,saving the planet and eliminating the use of fossil fuels is something we can do and it starts with each of us to do our part.

Sadly for humans, the planet can save itself. It takes about 150,000 years but Earth will recover. Humans won't be so lucky.

OK - I looked at some of the pictures. Are they supposed to relate to something environmentally friendly? One picture in the SW of the USA was a row of port-a-potties. I don't get the connection.

I have this crazy, crazy notion, that someday, somehow, ordinary people will make this world work. I know, it's been a pipe dream for ever and ever, but I wonder lately if it might just come true. We are beginning to see that "those in charge" are really just obstacles...

Mother nature will be the deciding factor. Sadly... she will have to send us hard messages in the form of increasing climate-change disasters to make all the people of the world come together.

true but one wonders how the current right will react and keep anything from happening
