 -catastrophe-holiday-die-/\n\n**Let's set the scene:**\n\n1. Carbon emissi
 ons are running rampant\, ever-increasing every year\n \n2. Up to 200 spec
 ies are dying every day\n \n3. In 2020\, the arctic reached 100F for the f
 irst time\n\n4. Massachusetts is proposing carbon neutrality by 2050\, on 
 a similar abysmal track with our new President's national plan\n\n5. We ar
 e passing 300\,000 people dead in the US due to the coronavirus\n\n**How i
 s society coping?** *Holiday consumerism\, of course!* The prudential cent
 er is packed with people\, blindly purchasing non-essential items. America
 ns are estimated to spend $400 Billion dollars this year on Christmas alon
 e\, lining the pockets of the 1% while we face historic unemployment rates
  and vulnerability in disadvantaged communities. We need a wake up call th
 is holiday season.\n\n**So what do we do? A die-in!** - Join us as we perf
 orm a die-in (or series of die-ins!) at the Prudential Center in the middl
 e of all of the holiday shoppers to raise awareness to how our consumerism
  is killing us. Let's make a statement and provide an alternative perspect
 ive to the holiday consumerist fury. \n\n**What to bring**\n\n1. A mask\n\
 n2. XR flags and signs \n\n3. flashy die-in elements\n\n**Messaging: **\n\
 n1. Put the *eco* in economy \n\n2. *Buy Nothing* this holiday\n\n3. Consu
 merism is killing us\n\n4. Fast fashion is toxic
