Anyways, back to buisness"One of the things I hope this achieves is to remind people that we live on a planet. Just like Venus and Mars, we are a hunk of rock out in space and our future depends on, among other things, the gaseous composition of our atmosphere," This quote is very true. As stated by Bill McKibben regarding the "human art" that people have been joining together to create. The show in which it is in, 350 Earth regards the acceptable number of CO2 in the atmosphere. As of now, it is approximatly 390 PPM, or Parts Per Million.
People all over the world join together in order to create giant pieces of art. The magnitude of said pictures is so large, that they are easily seen, and photographed, from space. People from all over the world will create different pictures. For example, people from Los Angeles will form a giant "Solar Eagle," while people from Mumbai will form an Elephant, while people in Australia, using torches, will form a "350" to signify global warming.
Reaction: This is incredible. I once heard a quote that stated the humans never lose their motivation, their drive for success. This is a prime example of said quote. I cannot believe that so many people would ban together, from all over the world, for this. Although it is a big issue, I thought it would be impossible for one single person to orginize all of this.
QUESTIONS:
1. Whol orginized this event?
2. What is the PPM for the CO2?
3. Which image is Los Angeles going to form?
4. What is the show going to be called?
Wow this is an amazing idea. I think its a great way to get the whole world aware of global warming. I think its amazing how these big peices of art can be made and seen from outer space. If everyone can become aware now of global warming the world can come together and really fix the problem. If our atmosphere is healthier it will result in us being healthier. The only question i have about this is the objects being used to do this good for the enviroment

It is amazing how this is global. Even people in Africa are going to make an image with torches. I found out that in 2000, the ppm for CO2 was around 370 and in 1980, a little under 340 ppm. I wonder if there are more than only those places that are going to get together and form an image to get everyone aware of what global warming is and what it is doing.

I love the idea of this, that there are times where everyone can come together to help the enviroment and the world. If we can keep this all up then who knows where we'll go from here, i think it's a great idea what 350.org is doing, and I'm glad someone can do it so well. oh, and to go with michael's picture of the solar eagle, here's a picture of a polar bear.

This is good, but is it really helping the environment? This isn't helping the CO2 level, and people all over the world already know about global warming.

I love the idea of this as well, but what I would like to know is what is this doing to help us out? If the ppm for CO2 is so high then why are they doing this? Anyway this is something that I think a lot of people will enjoy and will be able to remember.
