Climate party!

The 16th of October, Think Globally Radio covered a Climate Party in central Stockholm.

The idea of the party, launched by the movement "Klimataktion" in Sweden is to raise awareness of the acute climate situation as well as to highlight the relation of the participants to this global issue. A Climate Party has its roots from the "home sales party" phenomenon. However, instead of a salesman there is a climate whistleblower invited to the party.

Think Globally Radio will soon do a show dedicated for this idea together with representatives of the movement "Klimataktion".

You can visit Klimataktion here.
