Events like this are happening simultaneously in every corner of the world just as our leaders gather at the United Nations Climate Conference in Copenhagen for the most important climate negotiations of our time. The message is: The World Wants A Real Deal – a treaty strong enough to tackle climate change and the destruction of the planet.

Come and join in! Bring a candle and something to share (cookies, cake etc.), Astrid will serve tea.

This is also a great opportunity to see her exhibition, which is dealing with climate issues and severe weather conditions.
