The Big Blow (AKA global horning/make some noise for climate change)
24 October 2009 (All day)
I am going to get 350 Brass players, didgeridoo players, pipers, wind players...pretty much anything that can HONK, to stand facing parliament on the south bank of london and make some noise to remind London and the Government about our 350 target. With the very basic idea being that you need to be able to breathe to play. I am planning to coordinate with the Bigger Picture and other london events on the day. Safety in numbers! Please see www.350thebigblow.co.uk and follow the facebook link to sign up to the event. Or check out the video invite on youtube,

See you on the south bank!

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 create the political change to steer towards 350?
- 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?
- And what about all the other targets people are aiming for?
- Why October 24th?
- Why another organization--there are already too many things going on!
- Do you measure 350 in CO2 or CO2e?
