HUNDREDS of people declared their commitment to saving the planet on Mollymook Beach on the South Coast yesterday. Five hundred protesters formed the words "People Power", and the event was filmed from the air by a local helicopter pilot. David Herring, a spokesman for Clean Energy for Eternity, said the highly visible message was intended to spur ordinary people into action over global warming.

The event coincided with the third annual Global Day of Action on climate as well as UN climate talks taking place in Poland. The Mollymook event was also being co-ordinated with the Lifesaving Energy initiative under way at the Mollymook Surf Lifesaving Club, which is installing solar and wind energy to generate most of its energy.
