 All over the world, on October 24 2009, thousands of communities will add their unique voices to the global chorus calling for legislators to act swiftly and boldly to reduce Earth’s atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels back to or below 350 ppm. The organization, 350.org, has put out a call for everyone on the planet to express their concern about climate change by creating or participating in a local, community-based, media engaging, and beautiful action which can be documented and sent via internet to our legislators.

350 NEIGHBORS - OUR LOCAL EVENT
350 Neighbors is a local project to express how precious the bountiful diversity of life is to us here in the hilltowns. We are lucky to live in a place where wild plants and animals still enrich our daily lives. 350 Neighbors is a project to appreciate and celebrate our wildlife neighbors and express our concern for the future of our lives and theirs by creating a local 350.org action
 How YOU can participate
in the exhibit!
The Creamery will be collecting
8 ½ x 11 photos or drawings of our wild plant and animal neighbors. We are displaying them at the Creamery until a date in October when we will create a big display and slide show of all the photos we collect.
Come watch the store come alive with beautiful images!
Bring in pictures that you have taken locally of your wild neighbors.
(Preferably not the guy next door in his loin cloth.)
We will try to get at least 350 different local species, but all duplicates will be included in the show. We would love to have the 350 be native plants and animals, but if you are in love with that hybrid rose by your back door, we will include it in a non-native section of the show. Please fill out a form with each picture you submit to help us all learn about our neighbors. Let’s remind our legislators what is at stake in Copenhagen.
IF POSSIBLE, SUBMIT YOUR IMAGES IN TWO FORMATS
PRINT IMAGES FOR DISPLAY:
The form is available at the Creamery, where the photos are currently being displayed.
Bring in your 8-1/2 x 11 print, fill out the form and we'll gladly display it!
DIGITAL IMAGES FOR SLIDE SHOW:
If possible, please also email any digital originals or scanned photos to Rose's EMAIL, to be used in the slide show. If you don't have a digital original or a scanner, please email to let us know, so we can scan it for the show.
Don't forget to let us know your name, where the photo was taken, the approximate date it was taken, the species name if you know it and any comments or story connected with the image.
Thanks!
