We have less than 3 weeks left before the Rio+20 Earth Summit and we ask that people give just 3 minutes of their time to request that our top leaders spend 3 days
at the Summit to put us on a path toward a sustainable future. We
cannot afford to miss this once-in-a-generation opportunity to deliver
real progress in our cities, our countries, and our only planetary home.
We need ambition and action from our leaders. The world is watching.
