Auckland Saturday May 23, 2009 – Lucy Lawless, Stephen Tindall, Cliff Curtis, Peter Gordon and Jim Salinger are among a group of high-profile New Zealanders joining with Greenpeace to call for strong climate action.
They’re ambassadors for Greenpeace’s new Sign On climate campaign, which aims to generate an unprecedented level of support for John Key to sign on to a 40 per cent by 2020 emission reduction target at the UN climate talks in Copenhagen in December.

The campaign is being launched today at Lucy Lawless’ house in Auckland. “I’m signing on because there’s no Planet B,” said Lawless. “There’s nowhere else for our kids and grandchildren to go. We need to get on with the business of tackling climate change. Our Government needs to sign up to a 40 by 2020 target.”

“We need to act on climate change for two reasons,” said Stephen Tindall. “Firstly, I’m a grandfather and I want my granddaughters to enjoy the New Zealand I’ve enjoyed. Secondly I’m a businessman. Unless we hold true to the ideals of New Zealand’s clean, green image, we could lose our reputation, which could mean hundreds of millions of dollars worth of exports and our whole standard of living could drop.”

Actress Keisha Castle Hughes, Founder of 42 Below Vodka Geoff Ross, Huffer clothing label, farmer Max Purnell, journalist Francesca Price and actor Rhys Darby are also Sign On ambassadors.
