Thom Yorke organised a giant live sculpture with the help of 2000 volunteers this weekend, all in aid of 350 Earth. The giant installation depicted King Canute commanding the ocean, which was used as the front cover of Thom Yorkes solo debut album, “The Eraser”.

The event was captured by aerial photographers, and can be seen in the image above.

To see more photographs and to find out more information about 350 Earth, visit the 350 Earth website.

All over the world, from the November 20th – 28th, 350 Earth is launching it’s first ever global climate art project. Each art installation will be viewable from space, and Brighton has been chosen as one of the locations for one of these impressive art installations.

Leading the Brighton installation will be no other than Radiohead frontman, Thom Yorke, who has been chosen especially by the UK 350, which will involve 2000 volunteers making up the image of King Canute commanding the ocean (as seen in Thom Yorke’s debut solo album).

The live sculpture will begin formation on Brighton Beach at 11am Saturday, November 27th 2010. The lucky 2000 volunteers must be able to stay until 1pm at Brighton Beach in order to participate.

To have a chance at taking part in this event, please visit the 350 Earth website to sign up, and for more information.

What can you do to help tackle this problem?

Have you ever tried Pre-cycling? Have you ever heard of Pre-cycling?

A majority of people haven’t heard the term, but could easily lower the amount of waste thrown away at home, and ultimately lower the amount of recycled waste ending up in landfill sites around the country.

So what is “Pre-cycling?”

Pre-cycling is the term used when making rational decisions when purchasing products. For example, you can save waste when at the supermarket by purchasing loose fruit and vegetables, instead of buying them packaged in unnecessary plastic containers or bags.

This will give you the chance to pick the best quality, and most ripe fruit, instead of the pre-packaged and probably unripe fruit. An even better way to help your local community would be to go down to the local “Pick Your Own” farm, and cut out all unnecessary packaging altogether, and you’ll be doing your bit by supporting local producers.

Sometimes packaging for products is essential, so try to choose the product that has been packaged in the most sustainable and recyclable packaging. Cardboard boxes and paper bags for example are a lot easier to decompose than plastic, so keep this in mind when buying packaged products. So next time you’re out doing your shopping, give Pre-cycling a try by choosing products with the least amount of packaging.
