Video - Global Power Shift in the Summer of 2013

In June 2013, 500 people from around the world gathered in Istanbul Turkey to refine approaches to advocate for climate justice. The Global Power Shift is a 350.org initiative that seeks nothing less then an end to climate change. As pointed out by one of those in this video, "all of us are connected," to achieve climate justice we will need to sharpen and coordinate our global strategies. Learning about these approaches is phase one, now they have returned home for phase two. To protect our planet they seek to create a national power shift in every country.

Whether we are consumers of pop culture or not, there is no denying that celebrities hold a lot of sway with the general public.  The fact is that television, movie and music personalities have vastly larger audiences than the most popular climate scientists.

Many of these stars do more than pay lip service to green lifestyles, they show their concern for the environment by driving hybrid cars, living in green homes or changing their dietary habits. A few have even become stalwart activists.
