An event calling for social change would be nothing in 2009 without Twitter. This year saw many people posting photos and videos from Walk Against Warming rallies around the country from Perth to Bendigo, Melbourne to Newcastle. And all as it was happening.
It’s inspiring seeing people getting involved in one hit. Here are a few choice tweets from rallies.
