October 24th was the International Day of Climate Action, and people around the world showed their concerns for reducing the world’s CO2 emissions in order to preserve our environment and stop climate change. When you look at the photos on the 350 website and realize that this truly was a global day of action – one of 360 degrees around the globe – it is heartwarming and encouraging to know that so many of us ARE taking notice of the importance of reducing our carbon emissions. And, so many of us are taking action to make a difference!
In Churchill, Manitoba, members of Polar Bears International took their “350 Photo” to make a statement about their commitment to reduce carbon emissions and preserve polar bear habitat. It is through our collective actions that we can all work to reduce climate change by reducing CO2 emissions…and thus save polar bear habitat and the habitat of all living things.
In 2008, Purdue University released CO2 maps with amazing detail of the emissions across the United States. “The Vulcan Project” provides amazing visual imagery of the CO2 being released in different areas of the U.S. during different intervals. These powerful images certainly make an impression.
