Here is a post to let family and business friends know that no, I did not know about that 350 day of action event. On October 24^th I was in Miami with my 4 year old son, we took the bus to go to the beach (a one hour trip), we walked quite a bit (I’d say 4 miles total), had fun swimming, and oh … did not see anyone with a 350 sign. Well, Miami is not particularly known for having environmental genes. Two characteristics about Miami that have left a long lasting impression: it has been developed on a lie and it has the largest population of holocaust survivors. But I was a bit curious about that 350 event and if anything in Miami had been done to promote this event. So … I went to yourversion.com (great stuff, for all of you out there who have ever dreamed of dumping Google, this is it!) and looked for green events in Miami … unsurprisingly, the internet can give us a good overview of what’s going on in a geographical area before you even get there … keywords: green +Miami … I see GreenerMiami, a site listing ecoevents … there was an event on the 24^th that I missed (I would not have gone anyway, a bit too far), the “Edible Garden Festival at Fairchild”, the previous posting dated October 13^th and then another one dated October 2^nd … then I went on the Miami New Times web site and did not find anything but one event on November 4^th and another on November 14^th, no mention of 350 Day of Action or any significant international event … time to wake up Miami, if the ocean sea level keeps on rising, you might wonder what you should have done and it will be too late!
