It’s no co-incidence that The Age of Stupid is being screened on Monday 21st – Avaaz and others are co-ordinating a Global Wake-Up Call event. At 12.18pm local time at thousands of locations around the world cell phones will ring to sound the alarm to our leaders that they need to catch a wake-up on Climate Change.

Events are being organised in South Africa – for a map of events check here.

Here are details of one happening in Rondebosch, Cape Town – if you’re nearby please go along.

Cape Town joins global climate wake-up call
Flash mob by Cape Town residents to sound the alarm

Cape Town ‚Äì At 12pm, residents and visitors to Rondebosch will gather in front of Rondebosch Common on the mountain side, for a fun, peaceful, ‚Äúflash mob‚Äù. After a flash ‘freeze’, synchronized phone alarms will sound. People will hold their phones in the air and come together to take a photograph before joining other groups around the globe in sending a flood of phone calls to world leaders urging climate action.
