Freezing for the environment

In response to the global Moving Planet movement, Green Grenades organised a freeze mob to create awareness of the arising climate crisis and promote an environmental friendly lifestyle.

Basically, a freeze mob is when a large number of people gather in a public area and freeze in whatever stance they like, for a few minutes before quickly dispersing from the place.

The event was on 24th of September, and the freezers were gathered at the freezing point which is the entrance to Orange Atrium for a final briefing, time synchronization and registration at 4 pm.

Green Grenades prepared small cards and cardboards that hav messages written on them, for the freezers to be shown when they freeze. The messages consisted of fighting for environmental causes such as recycling, carpooling, global warming etc. The public also signed petitions to improve our public transport in order to reduce carbon dioxide emission.

The freezers were asked to gather at the concourse area and start freezing when Black Eyed Peas' I Gotta Feeling was played at exactly 5pm.Photobucket

After the freeze, everyone was scrambling for a huge group photo.

The event was a successful one. I hope more freeze mobs would be organised in the near future. AND THIS TIME I WILL FREEZE. I didn't freeze cuz I was taking photos, for my blog :(
