FREEZE THE MELTING

Because of global warming, ice caps melt and sea levels rise. This seriously threatens lower countries like the Netherlands.

Communicating Vessels invites you to participate in the "Freeze the Melting" project. In the Waterline Tours box you will find a U.S-NL solidarity flask.

This flask contains a sample of non potable New York Bay water. We request you to place it in your freezer for a period of at least fourteen days, thus returning the sea water to its former frozen state. With this symbolic gesture, you assist in delaying the consequences of the world's changing hydrographic balance. By doing so, you express your solidarity with the people of the Netherlands.

All participants receive an official record, confirming their participation. A duplicate of the document will be send to Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands. You will find the required forms in your Waterline Tours accessory set.
