Video: Day of Climate Change (350ppm) at Orlando Brewing

Gabe LeBlanc from EcoFactory.com tells us about the worldwide demonstration to raise awareness about the 390ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere, but we can only support 350ppm safely. Go to 350.org for more info. Shot at Orlando Brewing.

Gabe bought 350 beers for the first 350 people to show up at 3:50pm in a demonstration he called a “carrotmob” or a “joycott”. I think it’s something like a flashmob, but with a very specific purpose. It was a lot of fun, and I was glad to be able to support a great cause.
