Not done yet

You may have noticed that a number of our partners’ websites are all sharing the same landing page today that reads, "Not done yet." It’s a message for our leaders: the result here in Copenhagen is not sufficient to get us back to 350 ppm and they need to redouble their efforts for a fair, ambitious and binding global accord.And it’s also a message for our movement:  we’re just getting started.

Here are some of the reasons I think we’re not done yet.

We’re not done yet, because the coral reefs are still bleaching:

We’re not done yet, because every child deserves a sustainable future:

We’re not done yet because our movement is big, powerful, and incredibly beautiful:
