My Gorgeous Wife Debra Doing The Amazing Waving Human Tide Line Saturday

I’ve been married to Debra Bushweit Galliani since August 2, 1981. There may have been beauty queens and bikini babes galore on the beach with us for our International Day of Climate Action but I only have eyes for this girl starting the wave from the front of the line!

Great Photo by Sean Hiller in Daily Breeze

You all know how much I like to read the Daily Breeze on line.  This morning’s Daily Breeze coverage includes this great photo by Breeze staff photographer, Sean Hiller

As part of the International Day of Climate Change on Saturday, participants line up and do the tidal wave for an airplane covering the event near the Manhattan Beach Pier. Organizers said 5,200 events were scheduled around the globe to mark the day. (Sean Hiller Staff Photographer)

At precisely 3:50 p.m., the group formed a line as far as the eye could see. The timing was to remind people that their goal was to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million, said organizer Joe Galliani.

Outstanding Video of Today’s South Bay Los Angeles 350 Climate Action In Manhattan Beach

“Can I just say–Joe’s amazing work is a prime example of what’s going on in every corner of the world. Not everyone is as sophisticated, but in 171 nations and across (currently) 4,400 events people are coming together around a scientific data point. We’re driving the debate, for once, and I wish you could all be in our temporary HQ in NYC just to watch the pictures pour in from every direction. It’s frenetic but joyful–if you’ve ever worried (as I have) that there would never be a popular outpouring around global warming, it’s a sight for sore eyes.”

Torrance Goes All 350 for October 24, Ready to do The Amazing Waving Human Tide Line

It was a historic night in Torrance, California this evening as long-held differences were put aside and the City and your Creative Greenius came together to join forces on behalf of Saturday’s 350.org International Day of Climate Action.  That’s me with my new favorite Councilman Cliff Numark just before the Council session started.  Doesn’t he look relieved and happy?  Don’t I look friendly and reasonable?  It’s a new day in Torrance my friends.
