S.A.F.E.'s chalking

Our group, students against fuel extraction did some chalking to raise awareness about the detrimental effects that fossil fuel extraction and burning has on our environment. We opted to do it in front of the library to ensure as many students as possible could view the statistics and pictures. We decided to make the world our focal point to catch the eye of the onlookers, and followed with statistics about fossil fuel extraction, as well as the effects it has on our climate and land. Obviously as you can tell through our pictures, there were a couple typos that had to be fixed, but luckily it was a quick and we were back on track. I think the placement and colors we used provided something interesting to look it, in my opinion inticing more students to stop and look. During the process I was surprised by how many students stopped to ask us what we were doing and it was exciting being able to spread our word. Once we were finished chalking and taking pictures, it was awesome to watch the few students that occasionally passed to take their own pictures, which I was able to catch in the final picture. It was a great experience and I'd love to do it again.
