COP21 IN PARIS - THE FUTURE IS NOT WHAT WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE


ANTI COPS 21



The plans laid down in 2014, in collaboration with the Copenhagen French Embassy changed drastically.
The plan was to produce the CO2 Green Drive in the streets of Paris, with both Electric Cars and Bikes.
However, as we all know many things changed in Paris since the fall of 2014. Instead, we went to Paris together with The Alternative and its wonderful positive crew.



Once we know that it was not possible to produce the CO2 Green Drive, we started to focus on producing a large Intentional Meditation event. However, this was not allowed either, as it became illegal to gather in large crowds in the streets of Paris. In above video, we did create a small meditation, just before the police stormed the square.


In Copenhagen, we did produce a large Intentional Meditation event in Dome of Visions on November 29th, in connection to the official COP21 Parade, held worldwide. In above image by Jesper Hyuk, Josephine Fock from The Alternative is holding a speech in connection to the meditation session.



In Paris, there was all kind of manifestations. One of my personal favorites was the above Sufi Dance meditation.



Another one, was the various Bike Parades that were ongoing in the streets of the city.



And of course the Dancing Lady, that was a lovely puppet performance by a local artist.

Now history will only know if the COP21 conference was successful. In any case, it can only be more successful than COP15 in 2009, where theonly good thing that happened, was that the CO2 Green Drive was born.



This is the best video I have seen about COP21 so far!
