After Copenhagen -- the movement continues
- Thanks everyone for the beautiful photos!
- Thank you for all of the inspiring actions around the world
- Thank you all for showing your opinion to the world. It counts.
- At last,(post apartheid), I am happy to be a South African, and to see our own Arch, (Desmond Tutu),as always, kicking butt!
- Thankyou for coming together to fight for a better future.We can do thisthis.
- Thank you. I no longer feel alone in caring about these issues. I am in this for the long haul. In November I attended the Adirondack Youth Climate Summit in Tupper Lake, New York, USA with four student Green Team members. It was both amazing and powerful for me. Afterward, I needed "river time" and sat next to the river for a couple of hours grieving for what's happening to the planet I love. But then I looked up in the sky and an eagle was circling above the waning moon. It felt like an omen, a sign that said, "Okay, you have done your grieving. Now get up and continue the work." And so I do, and so will you, and together we will prevail.
- From drought stricken Australia, I never expected much from Copenhagen but I do hope it is the beginning of much to come.
- it is and has power
- Never again can they take us for granted. We are many and we are strong. Let's keep up the fight.
- thank you all for what you did .keep on trying for a the fair and binding climate treaty.
- We need to make it 100's of millions of signatures. All the best.
- From drought stricken Australia, I never did expect much from Copenhagen but I do hope it is the beginning of much to come.
- No binding treaty but at last the voices of small nations and small people were at least heard over the barriers designed to keep them/us out. At last a really good use for email and internet. Thanks for rallying us, I am proud to be an elephant on the move!
- Thank you to everyon who signed the petition. together we can achieve so much more than alone. Not only is the elephant moving, but maybe the butterfly has wings.
- So relieved to see "the elephant is moving" finally! Thank you for your tireless efforts! Here's to a positive future!
- Underneath the umbrella of superpower agendas and torrential difficulty, there's a rainbow of people and actions changing their, your and our worlds. Join us!
- we need to challenge each other as well as thank otherwise the earth won't thank us!
- Thank you for having the courage to stand up for the future of the world and the human race.
- You are all fantastic! Keep up the great work. Thank you for what you have achieved!
- When those who "lead" refuse to listen and act, then we must do so not only for our sake; but for theirs. In solidarity.
- Thanks to all who helped! We are starting to really make a difference!
- Bless you all. Let's keep up the pressure. All the best for the coming year.
- We do have to start with a single step - thank you for understanding that. Now we must continue walking, begin marching, and find a way to run for the sake of our planet and ourselves.
- Thank you to all who helped! Don't stop now!
- No thinking person can fail to realise the gravity of the situation and the threat to the standards of life as we have known the, to fauna, flora and whole populations. It is incredible that vested interests can be so selfish as to fail to support the urgency of this movement. Alas it will be left to the torchbearer nations to fight their corner and continue to show the way...........
- we can change the world into one that shows true justice and sharing of resources , if our so called leaders will not do it we must show them theway - what has been started here is just the beginning ..
- We must all ensure the elephant keeps moving, thank you all.
- Well done to everyone but we must keep pushing our politicians to do much more.
- I know were disappointed but a brilliant well done to Avaaz for showing what we caqn do without politicians
- Quoting the famous monologue from the movie Network: "I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth. Banks are going bust. Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's no one anywhere that seems to know what to do with us. Now into it. We know the air is unfit to breathe, our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had 15 homicides and 63 violent crimes as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad. Worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy so we don't go out anymore. We sit in a house as slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller and all we say is, "Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster, and TV, and my steel belted radials and I won't say anything." Well I'm not going to leave you alone. I want you to get mad. I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot. I don't want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crying in the streets. All I know is first you've got to get mad. You've got to say, "I'm a human being. God Dammit, my life has value." So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out, and yell, "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!" I want you to get up right now. Get up. Go to your windows, open your windows, and stick your head out, and yell, "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!" Things have got to change my friends. You've got to get mad. You've got to say, "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!" Then we'll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first get up out of your chairs, open your window, stick your head out and yell, "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!"
- This is a beginning. We must work together to make our world a safe place for all of us.
- With One WOrld pollution will not be the onle scourge that humankind may control: try the four Horsemen: Conquest, War, Famine and unnecessary death and add Avarice that nourishes them. People are Power: God smiles.
- If there is to action it will truly be 'from the people, of the people'
- Let's boycot goods from China and the US that did not agree to genuine change. We must add these nations to the boycott of Israel, since they practice apartheid, land theft and ethnic cleansing We the People, have to use the only power we have. BOYCOTT New York City,USA
- We are all one. Those of us who act with that consciousness will change everything. Don't wait for the politicians - do everything you can individually and collectively to live in harmony with the planet and each other, and the elephant will keep moving.
- Thank you, all brave, courageous people, that stood up for all the people in the world, without discrimination, just for the sake of taking responsibility for our planet and our lives and that of our children and grandchildren and on and on, next generations. You really DID make a difference.
- We must now boycott China and the US for not taking global warming serious. We must also continue to boycott Israel for it's land theft, house demolitions and ehnic clesnding of Palestine.
- Any effort contributes to shift the global consciousness. Thanks to Avaaz and to each and everyone for participating. Together we keep up the challenge and show our politicians what the world really expects from them.
- And thank you, all those who are working for change, taking responsibility. thank you for your courage, your energy and your leadership.
- we still believe in miracles and we will go on manifesting them. thanks to all of you. Peace and Long Living
- I am a Canadian who believes like amny others that we can and we must make a committment.
- I am a Canadian, we can and we must do better than our present governmaent.
- Thank you to those who are organising peaceful and powerful protest we must continue for our children's children
