Due North

Last month Austin participated in community event in LA to created a message that could be seen from space about global climate solutions in the form of a Solar Eagle with a group called 350.org and aerial artist Spectra Q (John Quigley).

Big enough to be seen from space. With @350 and John Quigley.

The syllabic word accompanying the Solar Eagle means ‘Well Being’ in Inuktitut (Inuit language), which stands for ‘Harmony, Balance & Health,’ the Goal of their global efforts.

It seemed random. But is there ever anything random?

The eagle was the third in a series of images, the first one dates back to April 22, 2005 (Earth Day), in the Arctic. That Earth Day Inuit elders issued a warning to humanity from the sea ice off of Baffin Island, Canada, about the urgent dangers of global warming. The image of an Inuit Drum Dancer was accompanied by the words ‘Arctic Warning’ and the word ‘Listen’ in Inuktitut.

Sounds really familiar, doesn't it. Who did that?Oh yeah that's right.

Familiar like the symbol on Jake's hat. It's known Jake was involved with Global Green for a long time. It would make sense that Global Green reached out after TDAT because of the message. But they would probably reach out to the whole cast. And Austin said in a recent interview that he has known Matthew from Global Green for years and was looking for a chance to do more for them when the Gulf Crisis happened.

Now Club Lotus has shown that Jake and Austin have been together since 2002 and over the years they've made sure to spend time together for their birthdays. So Jake going to the Arctic two days before Austin's 25th birthday makes you now think Jake shared the experience with more just Salma or the Inuit people.

And now Jake's plan to celebrate his 30th birthday swimming with the walruses in the Arctic sounds like a return trip for them to celebrate Jake's this time.
