On Sunday 20th of September 2009 at the Washington Square Park fountain in New York city, The Concept Farm worked with the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) to host a press conference to influence public and political views during Global Climate Week – as a way of supporting the comprehensive global climate agreement in Copenhagen.
Alongside supermodel Gisele Bundchen, Environmental Ambassador for UNEP, The Concept Farm put dozens of kids of all ages in life vests – to symbolize the rising seas – and to provide stopping power for both media and passers-by.
The event was a huge success gathering both US and international media attention.

Interns of The Concept Farm have been promoting awareness of this year’s climate change conference in Copenhagen by wearing life jackets around Manhattan. Be sure to checkout our website (SSCop15.org), and send the petition to President Obama. So if you see people around wearing life jackets, be sure to say hello and ask for a postcard. See you in Copenhagen!
