350.org day of climate action at Seattle Center
We hope to gather 1000s of local people to form a giant number 350 with the Seattle Center fountain outlining the number "0". We're negotiating with a local TV station to take an aerial shot of everyone at exactly 3:50 p.m. People will be outside for an hour from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. while the photo is being set up, and each number will have a unique mix of activities, speakers, and artists. This is a pack-it-in pack-it-out zero waste event. What else is going on? We’ll be at Seattle Center from 2 to 5 p.m. We'll be streaming video from 350 actions around the region and around the world and have groups promoting great ways to take climate action on site and in the Alki Room including CoolMom, Climate Solutions, Seattle Parks and the Green Seattle Partnership, CoolSchool Challenge, SCALLOPS, Seattle Green Schools, Seattle Art Museum, Seattle Climate Action Network, WSU Carbon Masters, and many others.
