Event:                  Guernsey's International Day of Climate Action
Date:           24 October 2009
Time:           3 pm
Location:       North end of Vazon Beach
Purpose:        Take a group photograph to be shown around the world.

Organiser of the global event 350.org ( http://www.350.org/ ) wants  
every community activity in support of the International Day of  
Climate Action to be photographed.  So far over 3000 communities are  
involved.

The photograph will be displayed in Times Square, New York, and at the  
world climate conference in Copenhagen in December. It will be used to  
raise awareness of the public support for political action to tackle  
climate change.

350 is the number in parts per million (ppm) that scientist believe is  
the C02 concentration in the atmosphere that humanity needs to aim for  
to lessen the risk of unmanageable climate change.

During the event The Electric Vehicle Company will offer test drives  
of their electric cars.  We will try our hand at beach rake art and  
enjoy a community beach walk.  We hope to organise other activities in  
the coming days.
