Info and link to roses global climate action event for 350ppm

 

Hello Friends and family,

You may or may not have known that I had hosted one of the 7,000 events for a global climate action on the 10/10/10 to raise awareness of the seriousness of future climate changes that will affect our lives on such a huge scale in coming years.

 

Here is the link to my rained out event.  I had hoped for big numbers but was thankful and surprised with the 50 or so who came.

Xxxxx  Link to Utube below, hope you have sound it is quite magical, Bob Dillon had it pegged 40 years ago.

50 or so 350ppm warriors battle seasonally abnormal weather in Byron Bay, Australia to make a statement.

In torrential rain at high tide on the most easterly point of Australia and on one of its most famous beaches a front moved in at the precise time, 10am on the 10th of the 10th when the action was due to take place.

A dedicated group of concerned citizens braving the conditions to show their support for climate action wanted to give a clear message to our policy makers that change is required now and FAST.  Many stayed away, surprisingly many still came.  The Bay attracts 1.7M tourists yearly who come to frolic in the sun and sand but the changing weather patterns has shown that climate change is happening RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.
