"No one knows in advance what #cash#reward it would take to convince people...
But my best guess is that $1,000 a person in an economy with tens of millions wondering when they’ll be #evicted is a reasonable figure."

Undermining #G77, & small island atolls that fought for 1ºC. #Bolivia led this charge. TckTckTck was created by #Greenpeace, #Avaaz, 350, #WWF, et al (see image). The brand & campaign, created by adverting giant Havas. A "movement" for advertisers & media "to use & exploit."
Assistance in forming We Mean Business was provided by three main NGOs: World Resources Institute, #Greenpeace, & #WWF, as well as two pivotal institutions that assisted, ITUC & the #UNFCCC. Purpose ("new power") assists in brand identity/campaigns.
