art for the planet

Like me, it might seem to you that climate change is just too big a thing to change; corporate swine ... However, here's a great chance to engage in your own project, of any sort (provided it can somehow be photographed), to contribute towards a global initiative for 24 October, the International Day of Climate Change Action. 

An invitation has been given to organise projects, events, art, dance, actions, anything that somehow speaks to the issue of climate change, and/or to the goal of having only 350 parts per million of carbon in the atmosphere (currently 387, pre-industrial revolution was 250). High-res images should be submitted to an organisation called '350' who will have them shown on a big screen in Wellington on the day, on the net, and will become part of this global bank of ideas, comments, and protest. This will be happening worldwide, and with NZ's early peek of the morning sun we will once again have the cheeky opportunity to lead the world.

For more info check out the website. 350 is part of an international movement to unite the world around solutions to climate change: mission, to inspire communities across New Zealand to act with unity, urgency and possibility.
