Tomorrow, October 24, it's the 350 Climate Action Day. Perhaps the largest day of political action in the planet's history !
People all over the world will take a stand for a safe climate future. Empowered by 350.org, in + 177 countries, it is a campaign dedicated to building a movement to unite the world around solutions to the climate crisis, the solutions that science and justice demand.
350.org mission is to inspire the world to rise to the challenge of the climate crisis, to create a new sense of urgency and of possibility for our planet.
As they say : "Our focus is on the number 350--as in parts per million, the level scientists have identified as the safe upper limit for CO2 in our atmosphere. But 350 is more than a number--it's a symbol of where we need to head as a planet."
"To tackle climate change we need to move quickly, and we need to act in unison—and 2009 will be an absolutely crucial year. This December, world leaders will meet in Copenhagen, Denmark to craft a new global treaty on cutting emissions. The problem is, the treaty currently on the table doesn't meet the severity of the climate crisis—it doesn't pass the 350 test".
So, make sure you pay a visit to 350.org and search of a local event in your location you CAN ATTEND TOMORROW. (350.org/map).
I just found this video, from Addis Ababa where more than 15,000 young people marched to call for 350. A global subject!
