Stand Up and Be Heard


24 October is an International Day of Climate Action. Activists around the globe are organizing events in their community through 350.org. Scientists say that 350 ppm CO2 in the atmosphere is the safe limit for humanity, and we want to assure that the people representing us at COP15, the United Nations Climate Change Conference, in December support this.

350 photos from around the world will be displayed on the massive screens in Times Square, in the heart of New York City, with global media standing by to broadcast the story worldwide!

The photos will all have the number 350 depicted in them somehow, and will act as a huge visual petition that will be sent to world leaders. On the Monday after October 24th, the 350.org crew will be visiting UN headquarters to hand-deliver the photos to diplomats and delegates the world over.

Join people from around the world in this historic event. Visit 350.org to find out what is happening in your hometown. If you live in Madison contact me, I am looking for people to form a huge 350 formation on the Capitol lawn!
