350’s International Day of Climate Action took place just a few days ago with people in 181 countries coming together for the most widespread day of environmental action in the planet’s history.

In its wake, a slew of exciting videos are still lingering the ol’ World Wide Web and this is one of our favorites. In the video below, a goggle of super hot models take off their clothes to encourage the public to contact their representative about climate legistlation.

To goal of the 350 campaign is to convince the world’s leaders that there is a growing global climate change movement and to convince them to take action now. A bunch of models getting naked? Twenty dollars says they get the attention of at least a few world leaders with this. Check out the video below and visit 350.org to learn more!
