Hello, Diana and 350.org team!
According to “Global Work Party 10/10/10” international brand GARNIER and
NGO “Footprints” organized cleanup action „CO2” in Latvia. There were sun
shining and approximately 50 volunteers cleaned one of the mist beautiful
peninsula in Riga (Latvia`s capital city) – Grāpju peninsula. For 2 hours
younger and older volunteers collected and sorted waste materials. To save
nature resources, volunteers paid big attention to separate PET bottles from
other waste materials. These PET bottles were later delivered to recycling
factory “PET Baltic”. As a result we free our nature of 3 m3 PET bottles and
850 kg other waste.
In the end of heavy work, GARNIER has arranged nice lottery – each
participant could win useful presents from GARNIER. Also just prepared, warm
soup was served to all volunteers. The happening was honoured by visit of
Latvian national cleanness superhero Pigman! All volunteers signed in
Pigmen`s pink book for adoption of deposit system for PET bottles in Latvia.
In attachment you can find summary and photos of Latvia`s cleanup “CO2”.
Best regards,

Lake Atitlan, in Guatemala's western highlands, has risen 5 meters since
2006. A basin with no outflow to the sea, the lake level fluctuates up
to a meter in a normal year. But the past 7 years have seen the area hit
by 2 major hurricanes, a string of tropical storms, and longer, wetter
rainy seasons. Frequent landslides around the lake have claimed hundreds
of lives. Soil erosion has changed the PH balance of the water, causing
blooms of toxic algae to cover the lake's surface and poison fish. And
the rising water has claimed hundreds of homes, businesses, and farms
along the shore.
End of the season, time for new plastic on the tunnels

En el jardín botánico de la UNAM existe una construcción de madera y cubierta con estructura de bambú. Se trata de un espacio público habitable en un sitio maravilloso dentro de la ciudad universitaria. Diariamente cientos de personas recorren el jardín para caminar, respirar, relajarse, aprender y conocer la flora del lugar en un paisaje de roca volcánica único. Junto con la reserva del pedregal, constituye el hábitat de miles de especies que asombrosamente resisten el impacto urbano circundante.La construcción de madera es la estructura de una obra de arte procesual: un libro habitable. Una herramienta de construcción de cultura ambiental urbana.La acción consistió tanto en difundir la información sobre la acción del 10-10-10 y 350.org, así como hacer énfasis en el valor ambiental que representa tanto el jardín como la reserva.1. Se colocó sobre las paredes de la construcción de madera el logo de 350.org e información sobre el
día internacional de soluciones climáticas. 2. Se registró la interacción de la gente con el espacio. Y 3. se habitó el libro subrayando la posibilidad y la necesidad de hacer un uso distinto del espacio público.Habitar el espacio público, convivir y detener la marcha también contribuye a desacelerar el impacto de nuestras actividades sobre la tierra.Muy contentos de participar en esta jornada, mañana seguiremos trabajando.Saludos!

We are in the midth of the sixth mass extinction of plants and animals. Species are dying off faster than nature can even create them, and it's entirely the fault of humans living an overdeveloped unsustainable lifestyle. This world is a beautiful place, however a change is needed for the survival of all.
活动总结
一.活动的基本背景情况：
在2010年的下半年，CYCAN与350.org、GSF（绿色大学生论坛）、AIESEC（国际经济学商学学生联合会）共同发起了“点绿中国（Great Green Initiative）”，这是一场由青年人组织发起应对气候变化的大型活动。旨在通过青年人号召大家一同关注气候变化，并采取积极的方式应对气候变化。2010年10月10日，我们将在多个省份不同的地区开展活动，让我们共同喊出“点绿中国，让我们行动起来”的口号，用自己的行动为环保事业做一点贡献。
二.活动的优势：
1.活动的地点和时间比较得当，我们选择的是学校最大的食堂（汀香园）前广场，时间是在中午的11点左右，这个时间段学生都过来吃饭，有较大的人流量，为活动的顺利开展提供了条件。
2.人员分配的比较合理，人人各司其职，使得现场的活动都有条不紊的进行。另外，协会成员都有比较多的活动经验，使得现场的活动秩序都比较良好。
3.活动地点大一新生比较多，他们有更高的活动激情，使得活动开展更具有活力。
4.活动的前期准备做的还不错，资料都提前预备好了，使得活动的开展更加的顺利。
三.不足及改善措施：
1.活动的前期宣传还不足够，应该加大前期的宣传力度，包括：海报、横幅等各类宣传资料的整理及张贴。
2.活动的范围还不够大，所以我们应该尽量扩大活动的范围，这样也可以扩大活动的影响范围，使得活动更能体现出它应有的价值。
3.活动的开展主要是能够通过活动让更多的人认识到一个活动所要表现的内容，让大家对此都有一个清醒的认识，所以活动的开展要有实效性。
四.活动经验：
活动的开展在受到部分同学的好评的同时也有不少的埋怨声，所以每次开展活动要尽量大众化（意思就是通过一个很现实的、很贴近生活方式来表达活动所要表达的内容），以便让更多的人接受。这些经验使得我们在今后开展活动的道路上会越来越顺，越搞越好，活动越来越有意义。
五.活动取得的效果：
这次活动让更多的人了解到了我们国家甚至是整个世界所存在的部分的环境危机问题，让我们这一代有更多的有志青年加入到环保的行列，为环保献一点力量。在一定的程度上也扩大了大学生的视野，丰富了大家的课外活动，让大家对环保事业有更加正确的认识——这不是很伟大的，但也是比较伟大的，因为全世界都在关注这个话题。

He needs all the world to confirm, that he ain't lonely.
