350: International Day of Climate Action

October 23rd, 2009 by Adrienne | No Comments | Filed in News and Deals

Tomorrow marks 350: International Day of Climate Action. Here’s a small sampling of islands around the world that are participating:

Fiji
350 villagers in traditional Fijian garb will send a Coconut Telegraph to the World when they stand in the shape of a giant 350 for photo ops.

Barbados
Ready, set…plant! 350 people will attempt to plant 350 trees in 350 seconds on Morgan Lewis Hill in St. Andrews, Barbados.

    Niue
    The perfect mix: tree planting and cocktail creating. The daylong event kicks off with a blessing, then a tree-planting ceremony then finishes with a contest for the best 350Niue Cocktail.

      Philippines
      The busy thoroughfare beneath the Lahung Elementary School skywalk will go still for 3.50 minutes when bike riders block the road so 35 people can lay down in the shape of 350.

        Iceland
        Here’s a nod to those oh-so-sensistive-to-climate-change butterflies: 350 pieces of colorful butterfly-inspired artwork will be on display in Skagastrond, Iceland.

          These are just a few of the communities around the world that are taking a stand for the planet tomorrow. After all, you don’t have to be on an island to help save the world. So how will you celebrate?
