Subject: Live Earth is over, it's down to us:

Dear friends,

On Saturday, hundreds of millions around the world watched the Live Earth concerts against climate change. Will it make any difference? That's down to us.

Saving the world will take more than seven concerts -- it'll depend on millions of us, coming together across borders to take action and pressing our governments and corporations to do the same. The Climate Pledge below is much more than a petition -- it's a personal commitment to seven simple things each of us can do, and a challenge to leaders to act before it's too late.

Just take 30 seconds now, go to this link and sign the Pledge -- then tell seven friends:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/global_climate_movement/l.php

When you sign the pledge look at the bottom of the page for a map of thousands of Avaaz parties and events from last Saturday. In 125 countries around the world, from Hong Kong to the USA and Portugal to Peru, Avaaz members were responsible for almost half of all the Live Earth events held on the day. This was a big step forward for our new community that helped make Live Earth a significant day of awareness raising, and everyone who hosted and attended deserves huge congratulations!

When it comes to our planet, we can be a lot more than spectators. The Climate Pledge is the whole point of Live Earth. So add your name now at this link, and send it to seven friends --

This week we could reach a million or more, then get started with the rest of the world.Let's turn the moment into an unstoppable global movement. The climate crisis demands nothing less.

With hope,

Paul, Graziela, Ricken, Ben, Hannah, Iain, Galit, and the entire Avaaz team

Here's the text of the pledge. It's more than a petition--it's a statement of personal and political purpose. Just imagine what's possible if millions of people sign it and take action:

I PLEDGE:

1. To demand that my country join an international treaty within the next 2 years that cuts global warming pollution by 90% in developed countries and by more than half worldwide in time for the next generation to inherit a healthy earth;

2. To take personal action to help solve the climate crisis by reducing my own CO2 pollution as much as I can and offsetting the rest to become "carbon neutral;"

3. To fight for a moratorium on the construction of any new generating facility that burns coal without the capacity to safely trap and store the CO2;

4. To work for a dramatic increase in the energy efficiency of my home, workplace, school, place of worship, and means of transportation;

5. To fight for laws and policies that expand the use of renewable energy sources and reduce dependence on oil and coal;

6. To plant new trees and to join with others in preserving and protecting forests; and,

7. To buy from businesses and support leaders who share my commitment to solving the climate crisis and building a sustainable, just, and prosperous world for the 21st century.
