At 2 p.m. the bells of churches from around the city and the country will ring out to signal that the world must warm by no more than two degrees centigrade if mankind is to continue to live here with any level of comfort and safety.
The Government will be invited to receive over 25,000 petition signatures which Stop Climate Chaos has collected during 2007 demanding strong political action to stop the planet burning and give us a future worth having.
Member groups from around the country are also planning to find their own ways of marking the Global Day of Action.

There will be a strong turnout from the Tara groups for this event. There will also be a screening of images onto the Dept of the Environment walls at the Custom House from approx 4pm about the environmental impact of Motorways. The current National Development Plan has allocated 3-4 times as much spending on roads than on Public Transport. Dos this make sense?
The M3 Motorway is environmentally and economically unsustainable and we will be bringing that to public attention, again.
