Over 60 organizations including Oxfam, the American Red Cross, Human Rights Watch are asking people around the world to help document life on earth during a 24-hour period (10.10.10), by creating videos that will live forever in a global archive.
  
You don"t need a video camera or editing software to take part, shooting on a cell phone can work just as well. And for those without a stable internet connection, there will be video collection points in 100 countries. All the videos will live in perpetuity on One Day in Earth"s global archive.
