Speech bubbles

On Saturday April 21st a group of fifteen students from the University of Miami's environmental activist organization GreenpeaceUM went to their local mall to send a message to JC Penney. We delivered an eviction notice to a JC Penney manager on one of their "busiest days of the year" and educated their customers with signs, petitions, and even some creative street theatre involving talking trees made from paper used by JC Penney catalogs. We also had a clever way to get people involved by making speech bubbles out of cardboard and having people take pictures with them, as if they were saying the message. We filled up all of our petitions and had to make more lines on the backs of each page. I was stoked to see how many people actually care about such an important issue, and our numbers are only growing from extremely successful tabling events etc. This was not only a successful action but it was fun and people are looking forward to the next one. We have to protect our ancient and endangered forests!
