College Coeds Go Commando for Climate Change
You're probably thinking: "oh great, another PETA-like organization, showing a bunch of skin just to promote themselves while using the environment as an excuse." Well, this stunt is not exactly what you'd think. It turns out that these girls gone wild have decided to internalize their fight against climate change -- going commando to make a statement. As part of the "350 project," the ladies at Allegheny College in western Pennsylvania have strung up 350 bras, panties and socks to promote the use of clotheslines and raise the level of climate change awareness on their campus. The number 350 signifies the level of carbon emissions (i.e. 350 parts per million) in the atmosphere that scientists agree results in irreparable harm to the earth's ecosystems.
The students had originally intended to carry out the exercise using 350 bed sheets, but then they realized that nudity, or at least the hint of nudity, is much more effective at raising awareness. Not to mention, they were having trouble collecting enough sheets.Currently, earth's atmospheric carbon dioxide levels stand at around 387 ppm.
