This Fri­day June 5 is World Envi­ron­ment Day, and in our fairy cap­i­tal city, and in oth­er spots around the coutry hun­dreds of peo­ple will “freeze” togeth­er to show unit­ed action for cli­mate change.

The Freeze is set to kick off at 1pm for just five min­utes.

Right now the loca­tion is all secret squir­rel, but stay tuned

Nick Pot­ter, Per­son­al Assis­tant to Mr Freeze and lead co-ordi­na­tor of a team of vol­un­teers, says

“If there was ever a time for you to get involved — it’s now. 2009 is a cru­cial year of action and in Decem­ber, a new glob­al cli­mate treaty will be nego­ti­at­ed in Copen­hagen. We need to come togeth­er and send the mes­sage that glob­al agree­ment is essen­tial and that bold and urgent action is need­ed.”

And look you can even check out last year’s freeze, on the you tube.

I’m think­ing stand­ing in the mid­dle of the road is not the most ide­al place to freeze, so as the girl guides used to say, be pre­pared.
