Hallo all
thank you so very much for your fast reply. Although you all really took
to the subject, everyone somehow focused on museum exhibits. The event
we are asked to plan is a mass event for a crowd of around 5000 people-
something more similar to the Albedo event we participated in last year.
An idea that came up we named "Human sun tower". The idea is to put up a
screen made of solar panels, at the southern corner of the parking lot
and to give thousands of high school students that will be present at
that time small mirrors to focus the sun`s rays onto the panels. When we
stretched this idea a bit we thought to have a rock band on scene and
have their amplifier be sensitive to the current from the solar panels
so to encourage the participants to focus the sun`s rays to make sure
the amplifier stays beyond the 85dB.
Since we are a little acquainted with these teenagers smoking habits we
may be able as a byproduct to explain atmospheric dispersion through
smoke.
Do you see this idea come to live? Is it feasible?
thank you for your efforts,
Tal

Things we have done for Earth Day and similar:
invite local university to show off their solar car invite bicycle
delivery and tour folks to give rides give in-line skate lessons bicycle
safety programs people powered musician (bike to charge battery for
amps etc) give away seedlings (courtesy of Arbor Day folks) local food
programs (local farmers) recycle art live animal programs with local
Audubon chapter looking at how other cultures celebrate the earth
exploring green packaging (playing with corn starch packing peanuts vs
Styrofoam)
invite the city to talk about recycling program invite a local company
that makes toothbrushes, plates and flatware from recycled plastic
invite Nike, who recycles old sneakers into playground materials
decorate reusable shopping bags to take home pack a "waste free lunch"
(Tupperware vs plastic bags, thermos vs juice box, etc) meet-and-greet

I'm sure there's more, but that's what I came up with quickly.
good luck!

Dear colleagues,
The city municipality of Haifa turned to us in a request to suggest a
program for the soon coming Earth Day. They stress they don't want to
"recycle" old ideas that have been exhausted in the past, like turning
off electric appliances and such, rather they want a new attractive idea
that will appeal to the media as well as the citizens.
We thus are turning to you to enrich our bank of ideas.
Best
Tal
