So today was the day for doing something to promote climate change awareness, as part of 350.org's campaign in the run up to the Copenhagen meetings in December.
The plan was for us to erect a yurt and entice people in with biscuits. But the weather had other things planned - it's been the windiest day since I came to Ireland, and Donal - the yurt's owner - decided it'd be a bad idea to put it up.
Oh well, we'll go and... gate crash a craft fair, instead! Yeah!
We all had great fun moving around town, getting people to put a message or a fingerprint on our 350 banner in exchange for cookies! We had drum accompaniment also, which was absolutely fantastic.
The banner will go on to a rally in Dublin in December, before the actual talks in Copenhagen begin. Pictures and a short writeup available here.
In the evening, my housemate's mum cooked a lovely dinner for us. Hurrah for mums!
