October 24: INTERNATIONAL DAY OF CLIMATE ACTION


Hello People!

If you don't know about it already, it is time to know about 350.org.

On October 24, all over the world people will be gathering in their communities to make a statement about the need for world leaders to address climate change.

The climate discussions in Copenhagen resume in December. World leaders are putting together their plans now and need to hear from their constituents about their concerns about climate change. Scientists tell us we need to keep the carbon in the atmosphere at or below 350 parts per million for the planet to stay as it is. Above that number, our planet will be a very different place, with waters rising and storms and drought increasing in intensity.

But you don't have to take my world for it. Please go to the web site to read about this movement. You can also find out about events that will be taking place in your community. I will be joining a group at the Old North Bridge in Concord, Mass. on that day.

The events that take place will be posted on the internet. An international day of climate action. 350.org. Pretty cool.
