Climate Carnival

Our plan has two parts:
First, we plan to get a booth at the Des Moines farmers' market for literature distribution and street theater from 7:00 a.m. to noon.

Second, we plan to put on a "Climate Carnival" at the John and Mary Pappajohn Education Center where we invite kids and grownups to have fun while learning about the importance of 350. The Carnival will run from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Activities include: 350 Limbo, 350 Beanbag Toss, Coal Plant Knock Down, Polar Bear Mask Coloring, Call Your Senator Phone Booth, Wheel of Warming, "The Lorax" cartoon, excerpts from the National Geographic documentary "Six Degrees Could Change the World," and presentations from local climate activists.

Bonus features include: vegan food, belly dancers, a juggler, a walking/talking snowman (costume), a walking/talking pelican (costume)

Don't Forget: add your handprint to help complete the 12 foot Earth before you sign a postcard to your senator
