As their site explains:
In order to unite the public, media, and our political leaders behind the 350 goal, we're harnessing the power of the internet to coordinate a planetary day of action on October 24, 2009.Other similar sites include the Global Footprint Network with the premise that as the world's biggest environmental impacting species, human beings, need to understand the impact they are making in order to see the outcome. Using interactive quizzes and imagery this website is enlightening to say the least.
That's cool that your friend helped organise some 350 stuff! I was part of one of the Melbourne 350 actions. We rode our bikes from the Museum carpark in a zig-zag through the city, all the way to the parkland opposite Fed Square on the banks on the Yarra. There, hundreds of us formed the shape of <350, underlined by hundreds of bikes. You can see a photo of it right towards the end of that video, and on the 350 Flickr page. It was a pretty awesome experience! Hopefully all of these efforts flow on to some beneficial impact!
ReplyDeleteYeah. I saw the photo. It really was incredible. Good on you for joining in. I found out about it a tad too late, but keep spreading the word.
