A special campaign has recently been launched by 350.org, an international organization dedicated to tackling the global climate crisis.

"Put Solar On It" is a call out to all community leaders to install solar on 10/10/10, and join the thousands of communities who will be celebrating climate solutions. All over the world, solar panels will be hoisted, wind turbines will be installed, community garden projects will break ground, and more.

The purpose of the project is to encourage leaders to send a strong symbolic message about how easy it is to start down a greener path. If they hammer in a solar panel, says McKibbon, perhaps they'll feel more committed to hammering out some clean energy legislation.

Round up your neighbors for your own 10/10/10 action, invite the person in charge of your nation to join you on that day. Remind them that one answer to our greatest crisis is directly above their heads. Tell them to roll up their sleeves and get to work!
