June 5 is World Environment Day and across Chandigarh hundreds of people will “freeze” together in public places and became human statues to show united action for climate change.

Global warming is totally within our grasp to freeze and reverse – we simply need to show our courage to act. As Mr Freeze (the mysterious leader of the Freeze) put it:

It takes courage to freeze in a public place. Freezing on your own is freaky. Freezing with five people is sneaky. Freezing with lots of people is easy. It’s the same with action on climate change. Nobody wants to make the first move, but when we play our parts together, the solutions suddenly become breezy.

a video of freeze happened in Sydney in 2008.

Before you leave your house, turn off as many eletrical appliances as you can. Something so simple goes a long way.

Wear something green.

We will be making an impact and creating awareness in conjunction with World Environment Day. So try to Freeze with items or symbols of environmentalism.

Get your cycles along. Have sunglasses on and a paper fan to symbolise global warming, Freeze with a group of people picking up litter to symbolise the pollution, or with a flourescent light bulb to symbolise saving energy, with an CTU ticket/on a bicycle to symbolise means of transportation which will help reduce CO2 emissions. Or perhaps with a face mask on to symbolise air pollution, or with a crushed hair spray aerosol bottle to symbolise anti-CFC releasing products. Or you can even Freeze with a plant/small tree in a pot with a bandage around the stem/trunk to “save a tree”.

Some facts :

The average person globally uses 2255 Watts of power, or a little less than 23 x100 Watt light bulbs (www.wattzon.org). Thats wasting a lot of power. Now imagine that we freeze the daily activities of as many people as possible for only 5 minutes, then we’ll be saving a lot of power.
