Here in Santa Barbara we have so much to lose should global warming create a rise in our sea level. Our beautiful beaches and the entire waterfront (not to mention the freeway, railroad, and airport-planes, trains, and automobiles are all at risk), would be ravaged over the decades, with each year sending new waves across roads and into our cliffs.

We have created lightlblueline to help our neighbors understand that we all must work together NOW to change our habits and reduce our impacts on the global environment. We CAN stop global warming, but it will take all of us. Lightblueline is not the answer, it is only a beacon, a warning signal.

Everytime we walk past the lightblueline or drive across it, we need to think about how living in Santa Barbara is a priviledge in part because of our beautiful coastline. Only if we can lead the world in reducing our carbon emissions, and make Santa Barbara a shining example of intelligent energy use, can we tell our children that we did everything we could to give them the same coastline we enjoy so much.
We who have the most to lose have the greatest need to become leaders. Joins us in our effort to keep the ocean down at the waterfront!

[This project did not happen! See the video for the story and explore further on the web, starting with the project link above. But it DID create a lot of awareness.]
