Art as Activism
Submitted by May on Mon, 07/21/2008 - 13:15.
A few weeks ago, the San Francisco team at 350.org enjoyed a special
treat. We attended a book signing and reception for local photographer Debra Bloomfield's newest book, Flow. In addition to a book signing, the evening turned out to be a 350 action! Debra attended one of Bill McKibben's talks at the Herbst Theater in San Francisco a few months ago, and was so moved by his talk that she took home a 350 flyer, and printed out 100 copies to give out.
We were very touched by her work. Another special part of the evening was spending time with Terry Tempest Williams,
a good friend of Step It Up, and now, 350.org. Thanks to all the
artists supporting 350.org...and for those of you eager to get your
creative juices flowing, participate in our craft contest!
Understanding 350
- So, what is global warming and what's the problem anyway?
- And what does this 350 number even mean?
- If we're already past 350, are we all doomed?
- How do we get the world on track to get to 350?
- How do we actually reduce carbon emissions to get to 350??
- Will this thing work? Will world leaders listen?
- Where did this 350 number come from?
- Isn't America the biggest source of the problem? What about China and India?
- 350 is just a number. Wouldn't "Climate Emergency" or "Clean Energy Now" be a better call to action?
- Why another organization--there are already too many things going on!

Hello,
I was in touch with jeremy osborn.
With friends in France, we are launching TACA, an organisation promoting a carbon tax, as supported by James Hansen.
We would like to make today a photo of us with your 350 logo.
How can we get a pdf or othe format of your logo to get it printed (NOW!).
I fear we will have to draw it alone. The first step is always the hardest.
We shall see.
