And there's a scroll too...

Accompanying the Relay Baton is the Climate Change Scroll. In it, all participants are invited to sign their names, write their contact email (if they do not mind) keep a dairy of the distance they travel, the locations they connect.

The Scroll is twenty metres long so we sugggest that each group can use up about
25cm with information, stories, drawings, poems, words of wisdom. When the baton and scroll finally arrive in Bluff (or Half Moon Bay in Stewart Island, if we are specially lucky) we will donate both to Te Papa.

Climate Relay Revving Up

No man made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little.....

This quote has stuck with me since I was 14 years old - and that's going back a fair bit now! The climate relay in New Zealand is an example of how small actions pulled together create a landslide.

Starting soon, this series of events, organised at grass roots level will stimulate discussion, ideas and action to help each of us to do our bit to reduce the long term effects of climate change on our lovely planet.

If you're in New Zealand, I urge you to consider creating an event in your area, book the baton and join the movement for change.

Once things are a little more set up, we'll be inviting you to submit your ideas for what we, as New Zealanders, can do to change.....
