The citizens of Hopenhagen want you to join them. Don't worry; no immigration paperwork is required to join their ranks, just a willingness to speak out about global climate change.

The Hopenhagen campaign is meant to send a message to world leaders at COP15, the United Nations climate change conference that begins today in Copenhagen (hence the name Hopenhagen). The message? Hope, of course.

The hope that in Copenhagen this December - during the United Nations Climate Change Conference - we can build a better future for our planet and a more sustainable way of life. It is the hope that we can create a global community that will lead our leaders into making the right decisions. The promise that by solving our environmental crisis, we can solve our economic crisis at the same time.

Hopenhagen is change - and that change will be powered by all of us.

To become a citizen of Hopenhagen (there are currently more than 1.7 million and counting) simply sign the petition and let the UN know that you care about sustainable living and prioritizing climate change. Let them know that despite the environmental and economic problems we face, you still have hope. There is even a chance to tell them what gives you hope and why, and to highlight your location on a world map. But don't think on it for too long - there are only two days left to sign the petition. So what are you waiting for?
