Wear Blue is the new Architecure 2030 campaign. From April 19 to April 22 to wear blue and then "make your voice heard." They are hoping the millions and millions will jam the phone system and rattle the doors of congress. "Pick up the phone: Call Congress at 202.224.3121 and demand an immediate ‘Moratorium on Coal’ - a halt to the construction of any new coal-fired power plants. Through this Call for Climate event, Earth Day hopes to generate over a million phone calls to Congress!" Oh yeah... and spread the word.
Architecture Ed Mazria and Architecture 2030 Face It Challenge has announced winners. Students competed to produce the best body and face paint job that conveyed a "no coal" message. Emily Bibler of Ohio State won the Face Color Award; Jackie Fabella of Cal Poly Pomona won for best B+W. A student told Metropolis:
“The entries varied in meaning: some depicting strong political messages about health and environmental impacts, while others took a positive approach by displaying a set of alternatives to coal.” ::Metropolis; See all the entries at ::Architecture2030
So what am I doing up at 3:00 AM in the morning posting on my blog? Well, I just watched this absolutely fantastic webcast by Architecture 2030 Executive Director, Edward Mazria. It was a little long but well worth the time. He really lays it out there, what the current thinking is on climate change, but has a very suprising twist on how we can solve this problem. It is doeable, but the public's help is needed. It's a GREAT WEBCAST!
