There will be many events happening around the world<\/a>, \u00a0striving to enroll everyone. This action coincides with Ban Ki-moon\u2019s UN Climate Summit 2014<\/a>, opening the next day headquartered at the United Nations.\u00a0 The action is part of the launch of \u00a0Climate Week in New York,<\/a> which is meant to shine the light of awareness on the all-important United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP21<\/a> from November 30 to December 11th<\/sup> 2015 in Paris.<\/p>\n

In addition to raising public awareness on \u00a0climate change, \u00a0it is our hope that we will all (especially our leaders), finally agree on needed global policy for humanity at large and our environment of our one home; earth.<\/p>\n

We all know the \u201cchicken and egg\u201d clich\u00e9, which still seems to be stopping Climate Action. Ideally global leaders are indeed public servants, and do what is best and just for us people.\u00a0 We, the people, have been asking for global environmental policy, and prior excuses from leaders proclaim it is not the will of the people.\u00a0 After all, in the USA alone 43% \u00a0of our country does not believe that human behavior is a factor in the change of our climate<\/a>, called anthropogenic<\/a> climate change, according to the March 2014 Gallup Poll<\/a>.\u00a0 So if a leader needs to represent the \u201cmajority of the people,\u201d they need to act with a known constituency of support; thus the #ClimateMarch, to raise public awareness and to demonstrate that we, the people, are indeed asking for climate action.<\/p>\n

At World Team Now, we are usually about renewable energy demonstration projects\u2014 in our work, in our homes, and changing ourselves\u2014 looking at how we individually and collectively use our energy. Energy that is not just demonstrated by solar, wind, heat pump geothermal, tidal energy or use of LED lights\u2014 not just the technologies deployed in our buildings\u2014 but an awareness.\u00a0 We want to build our constituency that understands that the decisions we make affect the air we breathe, the water we drink, the earth where we grow our food, our oceans, and the intricate biodiversity of all species.<\/p>\n

\"WheelProgress\"<\/a>

WheelProgress<\/p><\/div>\n

We are the people standing and working for global climate justice in policy, locally and globally, in action changing; our buildings to net zero, our vehicles to electric and rolling forward on wheels and making real progress, we call #WheelProgress.\u00a0 We roll forward a future based on teamwork and community and will demonstrate that in the Climate March by the way we actually move forward, on INLINE\u00a0 or ROLLER SKATES, or if you use a wheelchair! We are already making #WheelProgress with renewable solutions not just for movement or transportation, but in demonstration projects\u2014 now let\u2019s get ratified accountable global policy. Let\u2019s all roll it along much faster for real progress.<\/p>\n

WTN is part of the global TckTckTck campaign<\/a>, where along with 350.org and another 500+ non-profit organizations are strategizing our environmental movement to work together.\u00a0 One of the leaders in this capacity has been Bill McKibben, with his growing 350.org alliance, now working for the People\u2019s Climate March.\u00a0 They are the genesis around this Climate March, and WTN once again couldn’t help but join but to support teamwork to show that the people in the USA do want to see political action with policy to protect our challenged climate, that is actually changing.\u00a0 We do play a role in the change, and it\u2019s time to build our movement.<\/p>\n

\""O"<\/a>World Team Now calls on our global roller skate family to engage our community around the world that will be in NYC and will join to roller skate for renewable energy, at the People\u2019s Climate March<\/a>. We will demonstrate by our own renewable energy, leg power\u2013 we can build on our movement to go faster! We will use our own human energy to naturally propel our movement and play to transform our world.\u00a0\u00a0 We will show our love for roller skating as a way to demonstrate to the world we have the power to choose how to use our resources, and keep them in balance with all species on this planet.\u00a0 With wheels on our feet, we demonstrate it\u2019s time to roll fast forward to the future we want to see. We invite all to be part of World Team Now, in the People\u2019s Climate March, please join us on your feet, wheelchair, or roller skates.<\/p>\n
