Over 200 people in Wellington froze together to support World Environment Day.
The purpose of the Freeze was to encourage everyone to stop and think together about our environment. By thinking and acting together, we can turn any harmful impacts on the environment around.
Isn't it great how one idea, seeded by a few people and spread through each others' networks, can lead to a self-organised event with over 200 people taking part and countless others paying attention? This video has now gone global. Keep spreading it.
We were inspired by similar Freeze 'improvs' that have happened before, but this was the first one with an environmental message. We'd like to see more communities do this around the globe. We need more action on problems like climate change. Urgently. Yet we can still have a good time while we do it.
