Climate change. There is a solution… Pass it on!

GWEC invites you to participate in its new public awareness campaign called “Wind Power Works… Pass it on”, which was launched today. The campaign aims to catalyze wide spread support for wind energy and call on policy makers to commit to significant carbon emissions reductions to combat climate change.

Launched on the Global Wind Day (15 June), the campaign urges people all round the world to generate the power of change and to send a message to world leaders that they can make the deep cuts needed and still power the world. Download your virtual turbine now!

The campaign involves downloading a virtual wind turbine onto you desktop. These turbines will demonstrate how many homes can be powered and how much CO2 can be saved through wind energy. The more wind turbines downloaded, the stronger the call to world leaders to agree the reductions necessary to
avert climate change and to make wind energy part of the solution.The campaign wind turbine game can be downloaded at www.windpowerworks.net/passiton, which also houses a short video and campaign material.

The campaign is also supported on Facebook and Twitter and encourages people to start their own virtual wind farms or join existing ones and to pass the idea on. All campaign material will also soon be available in French, Spanish and Chinese.
