Dancing for the climate

Posted 24 July 2009 - 8:24am by Julia.A

The Big Ask again is an initiative of the Belgian film director Nic Balthazar, in cooperation with the Climate Coalition. They realized a first film in 2008 to call on the world’s decision-makers to take action against climate changes.

Now they are looking for movie extras for a second film. So come and dance for the climate in Ostende on the 29th of August!

I heard about this organization recently.

They are growing flowers and green in big cities to cheer up too mineral surroundings.

& they even exist in Brussels.

(so don't be surprised if you tumble on a sunflower in the centre of Brussels one of this days)
