Giant Human Banner - Climate SOSAs part of a Global Day of Action on climate change, Be The Change hosted a Climate Rescue Carnival in Auckland.

At 0630 our banner team met at the park to sketch out the gigantic words we later wanted to fill with people and then crossed our fingers that we'd have enough people to fill the 6 meter high letters!

Sure enough (and much to our relief) the crowds started arriving shortly after midday. We had the bus set up, lots of stalls, good food, organic coffee and some great live music from Steve Abel. Then at 1pm the AK Samba band started up with their fantastic percussion performance and led the crowds down the windy paths of Western Park to the big fields.

We're down at Western Park, the sun is shining, the organic coffee is flowing and the face painting has begun. It's going to be a great day so come on down, listen to some music, check out the bus and help us make a giant human banner ...
