Over 1,000 school children in Delhi, India, braved sitting (or lying) in completely drenched grass and under a hot, hot sun to form a giant Tiger – 350 aerial art image with their bodies. 

Organized by 350.org, Kids for Tigers, Delhi Greens, the Indian Youth Climate Network and Spectral Q, the children had a fun-filled morning of face-painting, art and poster making — all in an effort to send a powerful message to Indian and world leaders.

Ladakh, like more and more places around the globe, is already facing real challenges in face of climate change — unpredictable weather, floods, and the prospects of diminished water supply from glacial melt. 

The Ladakh 350 climate change festival was organized by Will Wickham, a study abroad student from the USA and the Ladakh Young Buddhist Association.

An environmental advocacy campaign in April of 2007 called “Step It Up” generated rallies of support in all 50 American states.  These creative actions – from skiers descending a melting glacier to divers making an underwater statement – helped convince many political leaders, including then Senator Barack Obama, to adopt a common call to action: cutting carbon 80% by 2050.

Since then, an international team of authors, scientists and activists including Bill McGibben and a growing crew of youth organizers – many of whom helped coordinate “Step It Up” in 2007 – have formed 350.org to bring greater awareness and influence to the U.N. Climate Talks taking place this December in Copenhagen.
