Artist releases carbon dioxide in Greenland. co2.jpgOn 29 September, Francesca Galeazzi walked to the top of a small hill in Greenland's Jakobshavn fjord carrying a black gas tanks, kneeled down, opened the valve and released 6 kilograms of pure carbon dioxide into the air.
She had purposefully chosen a pristine spot. Others on the expedition were shocked by her actions. According to an interview she did recently with the UK Royal Society of Arts, one stopped talking to her entirely. Galeazzi makes a powerful point. The average UK citizen emits 100 times as much CO2 in holiday flights each year, and producing the food and drink we each consume emits another 600kg. We don't tend to think of these emissions because we don't physically see them being released over the Greenland ice sheet. more... http://tinyurl.com/6djbu8 _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
