dear timothy
have a look at OneClimate.net/poznan for Second Life events daily at 5.30pm GMT all week, in a live interactive setting. you’ll see a new layer of democracy at work, when people all over the world can ‘travel’ to UN conferences like this and interact live with key expert participants there – asking questions, offering their own comments back to the experts – without shedding a drop of carbon-heavy aviation fuel, or having to get formal accreditation by the UN.

you can also find terrific short videos capturing the lowdown on what’s going on at the conference each day, filmed and edited by a multi-awardwinning crew: serious, funny, piognant.

and if you look at the main site, oneclimate.net, you can check out innumerable articles – like ‘Of avatars, scooters and Brazilians’- which give you more analysis about how SL is being used to help social-political change and save the planet and its people.
