The Sustainability Symbol

On Sunday August 17th another group of rollerbladers (in-line skaters) prepared to cruise the streets around the Olympic Green in Beijing to share the message and adopted symbol of the “GREEN OLYMPICS”.

The group met at one of the hundreds of OLYMPIC VOLUNTEER INFORMATION KIOSKS wearing their “Peace Plus One” T-shirts, and heading off to the Olympic Park.

At the National Aquatic Center (the WaterCube) the Climate Change Agents played games of frisbee on rollerblades,

…and took many photographs with hundreds of people who were wondering what the 3 finger symbol means.

T-Shirts were signed and each person who learned about the meaning of the 3 finger symbol was asked to share it with 3 other people and given a small gift.

Chanting “GO China, GO Beijing, GO Green Olympics” the Climate Change Agents skated to the Olympic Village stopping at Olympic Volunteer Stations along the way….

some skated on one skate… … and others required minor first aid from the local Urban Volunteer Service Station … where Olympic Volunteers are always ready to help people, share the 3 finger Peace Plus One Sustainability Symbol and promote a GREEN OLYMPICS!

Arriving at the Olympic Athletes Village, Climate Change Agents shared the “Peace Plus One” GREEN OLYMPICS symbol with many international athletes from Guinea-Bissau, Great Britain, Canada, Australia and many other countries….

… the athletes signed the special “Peace Plus One” T-Shirts worn by the Climate Change Agents…

…throughout the activity, the Climate Change Agents  supported and promoted each other, including a “graduation” and certifying ceremony where everyone certifies everyone else’s status as an Official Climate Change Agent by signing their “Peace Plus One” T-Shirt!

… to wrap up the adventure, a group photo in front of the Olympic Village Sign, with everyone tired, but happy to accomplish so much in just a few hours!

The last stop was a big Chinese dinner and celebration for the Climate Change Agents, thanking everyone for the hard work and enthusiasm to share the message of the 3 finger “Peace Plus One” Sustainability Symbol and promotion of the GREEN OLYMPICS in China.

Climate Change Agent Nick summed up the effort to Stop Global Warming with 3 fingers - by thinking about what we are doing, and use the 3 fingers of the “Peace Plus One” Sustainability Symbol to remind us to care for

1.) Society, 2.) the Environment and 3.) the Economy…
