Oxfam, along with a number of celebrities (not huge…Fatboy Slim is one of them), is ready to put some force into the changes that need to be made in our world.
The slogan behind the campaign is, “Demand action until you’re blue in the face.” When you really think about, it happens to be a brilliant slogan based on the simple fact that we complain and recognize the potential disaster, but nothing is ever done.
Take the time to watch the Oxfam video and I hope you'll be inspired to demand action until you’re blue in the face too.
