Snippets from Day 3 (and 4) at COP 15.

“Actifist” launched last night at Union Square/Fresh Air Cafe (Copenhagen) with great success! The interactive portal allowed New Yorkers to express their support for the 350 campaign’s science-based Copenhagen goal with signature attitude – by slamming their fist down and demanding action on one side of the Atlantic and having their motion instantaneously replicated by a wooden hand in  Copenhagen before a live audience. The video speaks for itself. What’s next for Actifist? At least from those of us on the Copenhagen side (Chris Neidl and Dave Gibbs) this is just the beginning. We’re already brimming with new ideas on how to expand the interface for future COPs. Next stop, Bonn, July 2010. Great Job Adam Harvey, Richard Reiss, Angela Tran Dave Gibbs! Big thanks to Solar One staff and friends Janna, Corinne and Dina for holding down the NYC end of things – you looked great!

Solar One’s great friend and former grant writer spent the last several months tracking the U.S. climate negotiators at negotiations in Bangkok, Barcelona and now Copenhagen. He’s spent the last nine days in the Bella Center witnessing various parts of the proceedings, In this video, he shares some impressions on what has happened so far and where things are going.

Last night Greenpeace International’s executive director Kumi Naidoo gave a great ’speech’ at the Fresh Air Cafe in central Copenhagen. It was a nice burst of energy following a rough few of days at COP 15.
