How­ever more than a few people have been spend­ing the day tak­ing some prac­tic­al action against cli­mate change the old fash­ioned way with the 350 Glob­al Cli­mate Work­ing Bee.  More than 30 work­ing bees were registered by Wel­ling­to­ni­ans with plenty of people put­ting their shovel where their mouth is and get­ting out in the garden, tak­ing the wae wae express, fix­ing up old bikes, going to film fun­draisers (prob­ably head­ing out the door now) and insu­lat­ing their homes.

It feels bloody great to do some­thing rather than just sign­ing an online peti­tion dontcha think?
