The big ask
A short film made by Friends of the Earth in Belgium, with the help of award winning film director Nic Balthazar is helping spread the message that politicians must 'Act Now' against climate change.
The launch coincides with a major success for the Big Ask campaign in Europe. The UK now has a climate change law making it the first country of the world to commit to legally binding cuts in its greenhouse gas emissions.
More than 6,000 people took part in the recording of the Big Ask-video clip at Ostende on the Belgian coast. It was the largest event against climate change ever in Belgium. The film clip was made possible due to the engagement of volunteers from Friends of the Earth, and many film industry professionals including Nic Balthazar, who gave their time for free. Music has been supplied by Hooverphonic.
After you've watched the clip, do something, ACT NOW!
Send the clip to politicians in your own country, and friends, family, and colleagues. Now is the time to send it round the world, and to share it with everyone you know!
Friends of the Earth groups are running The Big Ask climate campaign in 17 European countries, so if you are in one of these countries, you can sign an online petition after you have watched the film.
The time for talking is over, it's time for action!
