“Spiderman” Celebrates World Environment Day By Climbing A Skyscraper
Well, I’d never recommend you do this at home but…
…what better way to celebrate World Environment Day than to climb a skyscraper with your bare hands - and without a rope!
Alain Robert, 45, climbed The New York Times building in Manhattan. Robert reached the top of the 52 story building before being arrested and whisked away by police.
Robert had previously told reporters that he planned to raise awareness of global warming since this is one of the main problems for our time.
When visiting Alain Robert’s website today, you’ll see a banner ad at the top. Clicking on this ad takes you to Robert’s The Solution Is Simple website, where you can send a message to the leaders at next month’s G8 meeting in Japan.
By the way, Robert’s “Simple Solution” is as follows:
- Stop Cutting Down Trees. Plant More Trees.
- Make Everything Energy Efficient.
- Only Make Clean Energy
Wow! It really is simple!
By the way, a second climber was also arrested for climbing the same building today. The cause (if any) is a little unclear at this stage, but he was wearing a “Malaria No More” tee shirt. The Malaria No More organization said they had nothing to do with him.
