What is 350.org? They are a movement that is trying to get people to create and take actions that help us lower the carbon in the atmosphere to 350 parts/ million, which is the number that most climate scientists believe we need to get to to keep a balanced environment. At 350 parts/ million scientists believe that we will have a stable climate. They are planning a community based global action day on October 24th that you can either potentially organize for your community or at least participate in a local action.
Their mission from the 350.org site:
Our 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.
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.
Here is their 98 second video on introducing their mission:
