'Step it Up' is a global event, kickstarted in the USA by Bill McKibben. Hundreds of events have been organised in communities across the country, all focused on climate change and the need for action.

Check the Step It Up UK info

Shall we have an event in Oxford / Oxfordshire?

I think we should hold an event or activity. I can get involved. I had an idea for a tipping point game that you can play with passers by in the street. Draw a circle, and get 20 people into the circle - when there's 20, give them a prize, plus some tips on tackling climate change. The idea is that the participants need to persuade other people to join them, and when they have reached critical mass they all benefit. We'd need to tie it to climate change somehow... Just an idea!

Great to hear some ideas. I think some others are interested in doing things too, so lets say we go for it. Like the tipping point game, we could also do some video interviews with people, get our light bulb library out and about.... How about between 12 - 3pm on Cornmarket Street?
