Klimafurdo: Night Bath Party to Stop Climate Change
On the 15 of October as part of Blog Action Day, which this year covered Climate Change, we talked on Naked Hungary about how to measure and reduce your carbon footprint.
Now the 24th of October is International Day of Climate Action, organized by 350.org, and this time if you’re in Hungary taking action is even easier and fun. At the Széchenyi Spa in Budapest from 10pm will take place Klímafürdő, a Climate Bath Party!
The Party will start with the shooting of a movie; yes, you read right, not projecting but shooting a movie. Gábor Herendi, the director of A Kind of America (Valami Amerika) will direct a film which will feature the people invading the spa, and doing actions like forming the number 350, the symbol of the solution to climate change. After that there will be lots of music with concerts, DJs, and even a raffle.
This is a unique chance to partecipate in something unique while having fun at the same time. Soaking in a thermal bath can be nice, but when you add the music and the dancing… well the fun is guaranteed! Moreover the movie will be played in Copenhagen at the UN climate experience, in domestic climate events like meetings of Climate-Friendly Municipalities, Climate Call movie projections, Car-free days etc., and of course people will have the chance to see it on Youtube.
The Budapest event is part of something huge; more than 4000 events will take place on October 24th in over 170 countries: from the slopes of Mt. Everest to the underwater reefs of the Maldive Islands, to the giant screens of Times Square; all in the name of 350. Why 350? 350 is the number that leading scientists say is the safe upper limit for parts per million carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. 350 is the number humanity needs to get below as soon as possible to avoid runaway climate change. It is well explained in this video. So make sure to participate to what it looks like a great night out for a very right purpose.
