Wednesday 20th Jan 2009 saw the launch of a new movement to campaign for action in 9 key areas relating to addressing the problem of climate change.
In their own words:
999 It’s Time is a new movement that will help transform the dates 09.09.09, 10.10.10 and 11.11.11 into pivotal dates in modern history. In the 9 weeks leading up to 999 Day itself, a series of high-profile multi-media events and widespread media coverage will seek to mobilise a critical mass of the population to take a number of individual and collective actions on 9th September 2009.
