24 Hours of Reality 2018: Protect Our Planet, Protect Ourselves
Fossil fuels, driving a climate crisis and threatening the health of our families and communities. Extreme weather on the rise. Infectious diseases spreading. Our food and water increasingly at risk. And yet, far too few people are talking about it.
It’s time to break the silence. It’s time to get our leaders and people everywhere talking about this threat. And for 24 hours straight on December 3—4, we’ll do just that.
Hosted by former Vice President Al Gore, the global broadcast event 24 Hours of Reality: Protect Our Planet, Protect Ourselves will sound the alarm on the clear and present danger that fossil fuels and climate change pose to the health of families and communities across the planet.
