GOOD BEHAVIOUR

There is a big push in Beijing to make the Olympics successful in every way, including gestures used at the Olympics, for the games and for future generations.

In these exclusive photos, readers of Now Public can see that Chinese citizens and foreign visitors are at the Bird's Nest Olympic National Stadium in Beijing China, gesturing the 3 finger "Sustainability Symbol".

NEGATIVE TO POSITIVE

Fundraising for the China earthquake vicitms, visitors to Beijing and the Bird's Nest Stadium are showing a new compassion for others.

Now that the world's attention is back on Beijing for positive reasons, (after the Tibet riots, the Train Crash, the Earthquake) Chinese citizens are quickly learning that polite, civil behaviour has an enormously positive effect on tourism and the world's view and opinions of China.

The public relations for the Olympic Games and all of China is now in the hands of its citizens... and to express this attitude of caring about others and the planet itself, a new symbol from an unlikely source is emerging to encourage a Green Olympics.

BALANCE AND HARMONY

The three fingers seen in thousands of photographs signify the balance between Society, Environment and the Economy. The symbol is made with a traditional Peace Sign (or V for victory) and One more finger to make a 3 finger salute.

The Peace Plus One salute signifies that the person displaying the hand sign considers themselves Part of the Solution to global warming and climate change, and is willing to share the Green Thinking with others through this new and meaningful gesture.

Thousands of individuals around the world have stated their beliefs and say "I am the Solution". Global citizens in China and other countries around the world have taken a stand by proudly displaying the meaningful 3 finger symbol.

ITS IN YOUR HANDS

Everyone can participate in making the Olympics Green, Balanced, Harmonious and Fun - Philip McMaster, principal researcher at the McMaster Institute for Sustainable Development in Commerce and originator of the symbol states: "just raise three fingers in the next photograph - and explain that with this simple gesture you are creating a better world." - "as a Crowd of People around the world begin to balance their everyday decisions between Society, Environment and the Ecomomy, our impact on the planet will be changed dramatically - leaving the planet in better shape than we found it"

Readers and contributors to NowPublic can be part of the solution too. Keep an eye on the 'net for people thinking three ways, and making a personal difference in the world. Let's crowd together and celebrate those who show the 3 fingers and are taking action. Help them get publicity for their projects, ideas or existing enterprises, and through crowd-powered media make them the models of behaviour and actions we want,(not greed and conflict).
