The 350 Day - October 24th


For those of you who are truly genuine about climate change, October 24 "The 350 Day" might be a good opportunity for you to express your genuineness to your own community and the global community. Click here to find out more!

One of the many magnificent scenes in Copenhagen

Below are some of the activities that will occur in several world's famous and unique sites throughout the globe:

That number is 350, as in parts per million carbon dioxide. In the last two years, the scientific community has made very clear that it's the maximum safe level for carbon in the atmosphere, at least if we want to have a planet "similar to the one on which civilization developed and to which life on earth is adapted."

It turns out that people all over the world do - in more than 130 countries, they are organizing thousands of actions that will take those three digits and sear them into the planet's consciousness.

For instance:

On the melting slopes of Mt. Everest, Pemba Dorje Sherpa, who holds the record for the fastest ascent of the highest peak, will be spreading banners and signs

On the dying coral reefs of the Maldives, the government's entire cabinet will don scuba gear and hold an official underwater meeting to pass a 350 resolution to send to the Copenhagen summit

On the shores of the fast-drying Dead Sea, Israeli activists will form a giant human 3 on their beach, Palestinians a 5 on theirs, and Jordanians a 0-reminding us we need to unite across all kinds of divides for effective action.
