Song For Friday: tcktck – Beds Are Burning

I went quiet for a while on Song For Friday as I lost inspiration. This one got my attention.

If you haven't heard about it, I strongly suggest you check out tcktck and timeforclimatejustice.org, the campaign for climate justice lead by Kofi Annan. The campaign's aim is to get people like you and me to show our support for climate justice.  Basically, the environmental damage created by us in the developed world is hurting people in the emerging world most. With the Copenhagen Summit on December 7th, the aim is to send a message to world leaders that to affect change.

As part of the campaign they created a video a la "Feed The World" remaking Midnight Oil's Beds Are Burning. If you like this and believe that this is important, spread the word! So far close to 3.5 million have signed up.
