Open invitation to party ... and help save planet

We are all being invited to a party.

It's been a tough year all around so far, and the worst is not over yet. We are not talking about the business environment, we are talking about our natural habitat.

In the United States, after months of millions of gallons of oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico, the flow of crude may have finally been stopped if the latest containment cap works.

In this region, we have experienced some of the highest temperatures in history. In the Arctic, there is the fastest melting of sea ice ever recorded, while in Latin America, there are reports of record rainfalls washing away mountainsides.

So why are we going to be celebrating? Organisers are calling it a Global Work Party. The date is October 10 and the venue is wherever you live. The whole point is to do something, no matter how small, to help deal with global warming in your city or community.
