It's Finally Almost International Day of Climate Action!
Tomorrow is the big day! International Day of Climate Action Day, when activists around the world are staging major protests to send a message to world leaders about climate change.
What do we want? Less CO2! When do want it? ASAP, preferably before the glaciers melt, the rain forests burn down and civilization as we know it collapses!
Greenpeace and 350.org are helping to organize the protests, demonstrations and "actions," which will probably involve at least two out of the following list of protest activities:
- nudity
- building scaling
- vegan snacks from Trader Joe's
- a counter demonstration protesting Trader Joe's because of the unsustainable seafood thing
- (naked) bicycles and earnest signs
- carrotmobs and "joycotting"
I think you can guess that a "joycott" is the opposite of a "boycott". And yes, a carrotmob is a real thing.
It's when you organize a bunch of people who are going to buy something anyway -- like beer -- and all go to a single store that commits to spending the highest percentage of the proceeds on environmentally-friendly improvements, like solar panels. Want to see a carrotmob in action? Check out the video of a carrotmob that 350.org conducted in San Francisco. It's actually very cool!
If you want to participate and don't have plans yet, check the 350.org "Map of Actions" to find one near you.
