New York City, New York

1day is a call to every person to take one day off on the 21 March 2007 and make the smallest possible carbon footprint.

Try not to drive or use public transport rather walk or bike, turn off all electrical appliances you can, try not to cook, eat simple food. Spend time at home with your family and friends or go walking, see how creative you can be, plant a tree, but use no or as little energy as possible.

Turn off the TV, turn off the Internet, turn off the phone.

Right now we are faced with the biggest challenge humanity has ever faced. This is a fact, no matter what anyone says, in our hearts we know that it is the truth. Any person in this world that is 20 years old will probably have seen changes in their climate in that short time.

Climate change and global warming is not something that is going to happen, it has started, it is happening right now.

1day is our day to celebrate our home, to pay thanks to it. Every year in every country on Earth, we have hundreds of different holidays to remember and celebrate things of the past. 1day is a day to celebrate the future. It is a day that we give to today's children.

1day is a message to governments that we support their recent positive actions on climate change and we need more of them.

1day is a choice, not a protest.

PLEASE PARTICIPATE IN 1day! Please tell everyone and ask your friends and family to participate in 1day - after all it is only one day.
