99 yellow balloons in Gothenburg, a follow up of Saturday’s climate action

Ian Fiddies | 07.11.2006 09:10 | Climate Chaos | Ecology

After our successful balloon action on Saturday we in Gothenburg’s FoE decided to strike while the irons hot and give our local liberal rag another chance of a climate change story.

enough for about 3 miles

every car should have one

Something to think about

Balloons just happened to get fastened to the wiper blades of a lot of parked cars on Monday in Gothenburg. Printed balloons with the text “60m by car = so much CO2” and a small flyer explaining that a balloon holds about 8 litres, roughly the same amount of CO2 that a normal car emits every 60m or so. Something to think about!

If you try this at home, wait for a day that isn’t windy, honest.
