Gentle Spiders, I just sent this to my group's list, but, on reflection, it occurs to me this could go wider:
October 24th is the International Climate Day of Action. http://www.350.org/invitation The idea is to represent "350", because 350 parts per million is what many scientists, climate experts, and progressive national governments are now saying is the safe upper limit for CO2 in our atmosphere. "People in more than 1000 communities around the globe have already announced plans-they'll be school children planting 350 trees in Bangladesh, scientists hanging banners saying 350 on the statues on Easter Island, 350 scuba divers diving underwater at the Great Barrier Reef, and a thousand more creative actions like these. At each event, people will gather for a big group photo that somehow depicts 350--and upload that photo to the web 350.org. As actions take place around the world, we'll link all the pictures together electronically via the web--by the end of the day, we'll have a powerful visual petition linking together the entire planet that we can deliver to the media and world leaders." The petition is aimed at the big meeting in Copenhagen this year. So--I'm looking for ideas about something lacemakers could do as a group to represent "350", and who would be interested in participating? Time is short.... I realize not everyone on this list agrees with the goals represented by this Day of Action. My message is for those who do; respecting list rules, please keep replies focused on lace. --Julie E. in Seattle [email protected] weft.wlonk.com - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
