WHAT: Seven Meters Climate Summit
WHERE: Copenhagen, Denmark
WHEN: December 2009
WHO: Everyone
DESCRIPTION:
In December the world’s leaders will come to Copenhagen for a climate summit to discuss the global warming. ‘Seven Meters’ will welcome these delegates and form a 24 km line of blinking red LED lamps to illustrate how the city will look like when all the ice cap of Greenland has melted with the result of a 7 meters rise of the sea level. The lamps will be visible from the Bella Center, the venue of the COP15 summit and in the City, along roads, lakes and canals. Simultaneously we will surround the COP15 with huge art installations depicting the climate crisis.
'Seven Meters' is inviting you to establish a new international symbol saying that too little is done to curb the global warming by encouraging everybody to make use of the blinking LED lamp (e.g. a rear bike lamp) as a symbol that we’re facing a climatic catastrophe and that immediate action must be called for.
Make your own SevenMeters actions locally or globally, and send us the information, then we’ll upload it on the website. (You’ll find a list of ideas at www.SevenMeters.net/links/4)
For sure, you cannot change the climate using red lamps, but we can create a movement and a symbol that we are ready to change our consumption, and that we believe that the politicians are not doing enough. If you and millions of others help spreading the idea, our joint effort can create a butterfly-effect, that lets a red blinking storm blow over the world, saying: ”Do something now, and do it speedily!”
SevenMeters.net is launched from Denmark. But the campaign's focus is global as well and supports and encourages activists across the globe to take up the idea and make 'new' water-marks in their own countries - or in other ways use the symbol of red flashing lights or bring attention to the climate problems.
Can you change the climate by using red lights? No! - but we can create a movement and a symbolize that we are ready to change our consumption, and that we believe that the politicians are not doing enough. If you and millions of others help diffusing the idea, we can together create a butterfly-effect, that lets a red blinking storm blow over the world, which says: "Do something now, and do it speedily!".
