6) Play to Stop – Europe for Climate is a collaboration between MTV and EU Climate Action to get the “young’uns” to give a damn. Because I’m not in the mood to tell you about it, I’ll let someone else do it:

The campaign will involve three concerts, TV spots, webcasts and games, and editorial content about the battle against climate change.

The concerts will be connected with major events related to climate change. The first concert, by Moby, will be in Stockholm and will be linked to World Water Week. The second and third concerts (entertainers yet to be announced) will be in Budapest linked to Mobility Week and in Copenhagen linked to the Climate Conference.

Other famous celebrities involved in the campaign will be the Bulgarian tennis player Magdalena Maleeva, Danish singer Anna David, Italian TV star Paola Maugeri, Polish entertainer Michal Pirog, and Romanian climate activist Serban Miron Copot.

So you go, make an account, and watch videos and so on. There is a knowledge test and games you can play to go to the concerts. This is open to people 18 years old+ in Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
