- [The Biggest Lungs Ever? #Cough4Coal](https://350.org/biggest-lungs-ever-cough4coal/) — There's a giant set of lungs on the loose, and who knows where they are going to turn up next!?
Created by the artists and activists from the group Tools for Action that met during Global Power Shift, the 8 meter x 4 meter set of lungs is a creative intervention, #Cough4Coal, designed to highlight the effects of coal extraction and combustion on human and planetary health. It is an artwork and protest about air, created of air, and linking the air of the world to the air inside us - beautifully captured in this powerful short video: 

Follow the #Cough4Coal project on Facebook - just click here and 'like' their page.
Burning coal releases a frightful density of toxic air pollutants, acid gas, soot and dust that penetrates deep into the lungs and the blood stream. Coupled with the dense quantities of greenhouse gasses burning coal releases, it's time to put an end to it. As the group say, "We are not willing to stand and watch while coal is used to make profits, and lobbyists are gambling with our health!" 
The network involved with the #Cough4Coal project is distributed in many parts of the world, so over the coming months, if you're walking down the street and suddenly see a giant set of lungs approaching, don't be too surprised. But even better than walking upon the giant lungs by coincidence, why not join the campaign yourself - follow them on Facebook. Those lungs are going to be turning up in some important places - starting in Warsaw, Poland in November where there might just be a conference about coal happening...watch this space!

You have likely noticed that a huge amount of our global 350 work of late has been focused on Global Power Shift (GPS). And suffice to say, GPS is getting really exciting! All you have to do is check out the beautiful, growing timeline of GPS plans to get a sense of how it is developing: https://globalpowershift.org/timeline. Or stay updated on Facebook here.
Today we are excited to write about another related, collaborative, global effort initiated by our friends at the Global Campaign to Demand Climate Justice — Reclaim Power — a global month of action on energy.
NO to dirty and harmful energy!
YES to renewable energy for people and communities!
October 11 to November 11, 2013

There are a wide range of mobilisations, campaigns, and events woven into Reclaim Power, and we encourage you to plug in to the efforts taking place near you. (That might include some of the GPS plans taking place during the month too!) You can read the full call to action here: https://reclaimpower.net/call-to-action.
One of the earliest efforts being planned is a day of action this Saturday, 12 October, called Power 4 People. Led by our friends at International Rivers this will be a day for demanding the World Bank and other international financiers shift funding away from destructive projects like fossil fuel power plants to clean local energy. Part of the days action will be on social media, so anyone with internet can join in online. Click here for more details.
Throughout the month there may be an action or mobilization being planned close to you. If not, you can plan and register your own activity. Check out Reclaim Power today — it starts this Friday! www.reclaimpower.net
