H350 Scotland - Unplug and Reconnect

Submit Action Report

Sunday, 10 October, 2010 - 10:00 - 20:00

As members of 10 climate active communities, at least ten members of our community will spend 10 hours on 10/10/10 unplugged and reconnecting.

Unplugged from carbon consuming: from screens like this (mobiles, laptops, TVs, DVDs), from cars, from all those activities that appear to connect us with distant others but often cut us off from people in the same house & neighbourhood and . . .

Reconnecting with members of our household and community, whether through shared meals, contributing to creating a shared poem, planting and tending edible plants on public land, walking and talking, making sand sculptures on the beach or big chalk drawings on the pavement of how we hope our communities will be in 2020.

Event Host: Holy­rood 350 con­sists of peo­ple from across Scot­land who are actively work­ing to reduce their com­mu­ni­ties car­bon foot­print. We are respond­ing to the mes­sage of top cli­mate sci­en­tists that CO2 in the atmos­phere must be reduced from the cur­rent 387ppm to below 350, to avoid a rise of 2 degrees and cat­a­strophic cli­mate change. We ask the Scot­tish Gov­ern­ment to take the lead in the race out of car­bon, by enabling all com­mu­ni­ties to make the tran­si­tion resilience. By doing so Scot­land can demon­strate to the world how ris­ing to the chal­lenge of cli­mate change can enrich rather than impov­er­ish us.
