Connect the Dots and Act to Curb Power Plant Carbon Pollution
Posted May 4, 2012 in Solving Global Warming
Our friends at 350.org have organized a creative day of action tomorrow to connect the dots between extreme weather and climate change. At hundreds of events around the world climate activists will demonstrate what climate change looks like in their community and take a photo of their climate dot. 350.org will collect all the dots and virtually connect them on their web site. Find a local event to join here.
The primary driver of these climate change dots is carbon pollution, particularly carbon pollution from power plants. These black dots are distributed across the country and are currently allowed to dump unlimited quantities of carbon pollution into our atmosphere. And they are doing just that—emitting about 2 billion tons per year nationwide. EPA has recently released a nifty tool that lets you find the carbon pollution dots closest to you. So while we are connecting the dots, let’s be sure to draw the line that links the sources of carbon pollution to the consequences. And tell EPA you want these pollution dots erased as fast as possible.

i saw a poster about Environmental obsessions-International Art Exhibition-Water life and motherland- by UttamKumar
The world is about to lose its perfect balance because selfish people are destroying the forests , the water and other natural resources for their narrow self interests and personal profit . They donot care that children are born sick, there is nomore clean water on air, many other crises because of their activities.The artist said;with my artwork i want to invite people to change this situation as everything depends on us, humanbeings. It is possible to create a better life with sympathy and sacrifice. Artists are sensitive and it is better responsibility to represent what is happening , to say that nature loves us and we must love nature.April, 2012
