PowerShift youth mobilize for climate change action in front of Parliament

Posted by Elle Eichinger on 10/13/09 • Categorized as Environment, Europe

PowerShift 2009 — ‘a group of young voters demanding bold action on climate and energy in 2009,’ according to their Web site — took over the park in front of London’s Parliament when a flash mob began a choreographed dance to promote environmental action. The U.K.’s Guardian has the video.

Greenpeace volunteers also participated, watching from the roof of the Parliament. A participant posted this TwitPic:

Lots of Tweets came in from the volunteers involved, and other groups that were inspired by it:
