We took part in a 350.org event over the weekend.
On the way there, an interesting restaurant in Sharjah.
Dropping off our clean trash for use in the furniture-making competition!
Pay 3 dirhams and you can use this walk-in blow dryer after running around in the fountain.
To hold an event around here, even an “indy” one, you apparently have to have corporate sponsorship. To be fair, McDonald’s has been making some real changes lately like generating biomass energy from its waste and cutting packaging for its products. Still, they do purchase the soya that they feed their chickens from Cargill which, to this day, enables mass deforestation of Brazilian rain forests. And it really cannot be disputed that if we all stopped soliciting multinational fast food outlets, we would not only be far healthier but the CO2 emissions reductions would be enormous.
The winners of the furniture contest as decided by the jurors! These Sharjah based artists are actually really great. We’re going to be checking out their studio sometime soon.
Can you find us in the picture?
