Greenpeace launches the next phase of its Sign On campaign, putting Keisha Castle Hughes and Lucy Lawless in plaster casts

Actors Lucy Lawless and Keisha Castle Hughes, ex-Good editor Francesca Price, scientist Jim Salinger, Waitakere mayor Bob Harvey and other high-profile New Zealanders all appeared to have broken their arms when they gathered in Auckland today to launch the next stage of the Greenpeace Sign On campaign.

Sporting blue casts, in homage to John Key's January mishap that resulted in a broken arm, the celebrities gathered signatures on their casts and on the street for the Sign On campaign, lobbying the New Zealand government to commit to a 40 percent reduction in carbon emissions by 2020.

“Many local and world leaders signed John Key's cast; we need that kind of collaboration and teamwork now on climate change,” said Greenpeace's Simon Boxer.
