Luke Spencer in the NYC: Interview on the Today Show

The stunning photo of his decent, taken by Jed Weingarten, quickly circulated throughout the country and across the globe in magazines like Kayak Sessions, Outdoor and even National Geographic.

On October 24th, 4800 communities in 179 countries all over the world took part in this peaceful stand against rising carbon levels in our atmosphere. 350 parts per million is the estimated level of carbon said to be safe for sustaining human life and today it sits at 390 and climbing. NA's Bryon Dorr headed down to the river with some extra boats and got in on the action.
Check out his account of the day at nastaffblog.blogspot.com: "...All facets of the paddlesports community came out to create a floating "350" on the Willamette River in downtown PDX."
Picture's like these and video will be presented to the public as well as local, regional and national officials to raise interest and awareness with hopes of sparking action that will make a difference.
