International White Band Day - TODAY!
 Just in case you didn't know - today is the first global white band day. The idea is that everyone - and we mean everyone - wears a white band today, to raise awareness of the Make Poverty History campaign, and to put pressure on world leaders to make the decisions to end world poverty. All kinds of people and buildings are already sporting white bands - up to 6 million of the little things have been sold already. Landmarks including the Eden Project in Cornwall (pictured), Australia's Sydney Harbour Bridge and Rome's Trevi Fountain will also be wrapped in oversized white bands. It all marks the start of a week of intense global action, during which millions of people in 72 countries will use their voices to call for an end to global poverty - in the UK the big push will focus on the G8 summit in Edinburgh. Follow all the events leading up to this in our G8 diary.
