Over at Grist, there's a slideshow, "climate activism as performance art," depicting the lengths to which people have gone to get their eco-messages heard. The visuals are easily divided into two general categories: aerial shots of people arranging themselves into words, wind turbines, and in one case a whale, and photos of activists dressed up as crowd-pleasing charismatic species like polar bears and penguins (and whales again). Of course, there's something charming and eye-catching about seeing a group of "whales" protesting in front of the White House, but what a statement it would make to have a group of individuals garbed as the myriad other species threatened by climate change (though it might be hard to find a coral reef costume).
