350 Event – Oct 24th

We are co-sponsoring a 350 event on the Great Lawn Waterfront Park Saturday, October 24 at 2:30 pm as part of a worldwide effort to bring public awareness to the consequences of global climate change.

We will assemble and spell out “350″ with our bodies at 3:50 PM. There will be music, speakers, exhibits, puppets, theater, and an aerial flyover to take a photo for the worldwide 350 event. Come be part of the solution! Everyone is welcome and don’t forget to visit our booth!

“350 parts per million is what many scientists, climate experts, and progressive national governments are now saying is the safe upper limit for CO2 in our atmosphere.

Accelerating arctic warming and other early climate impacts have led scientists to conclude that we are already above the safe zone at our current 390ppm, and that unless we are able to rapidly return to 350 ppm this century, we risk reaching tipping points and irreversible impacts such as the melting of the Greenland ice sheet and major methane releases from increased permafrost melt.”
