How about putting a sign on the white rooftops saying
Stop spraying us

To make the public as well as companies think about the changing planet under influence of climate change I thought of making a online modular with a personalized planet. The planet of you where you can step into the future and see how it looks like when your daughter (par example)  has your actual age. Like a kind of 'time machine' giving you an idea what happens to the planet, when we produce and consume in the same way and based on predictions of involved scientists. A personalised planet to make people understand that their way of living today has an influence on the lifes of them and their beloved ones tomorrow. We can see the changing of the sea level and what it does with river delta's. And see how land will change into desert etc. etc.  http://viral-affairs.blogspot.fr/2010/07/world-of.html
