INTERNATIONAL DAY OF CLIMATE ACTION - OCT 24
On Oct. 24th, the International Day of Climate Action, people
from over 150 nations will come together in creative climate
actions to take a stand for 350 and a safe climate future. There
will be 1000s of creative on-the-ground actions everywhere from
the slopes of Mt. Everest to the underwater reefs of the Maldive
Islands to the streets of our biggest cities. All designed to
drive the 350 message into the human imagination -- and help our
leaders realize we need a real solution that pays attention to
the science.
It's the combination of in-the-flesh activism and online
organizing that will carry the day here. On Oct. 24, activists
will be uploading images of their events in real-time and we'll
be displaying them on 350.org and on the giant screens of Times
Square. By day's end, we'll have an unprecedented global gallery
of images and stories, enough to make both old media and new
ring out with this crucial number.
We need to make this viral movement go double viral (think Panda
sneezing) -- and so we need your help. In the last 18 months,
350 has moved from the pages of a scientific paper to the center
of a global movement. Now it's time to make that number...
count. We have a whole series of tools at http://350.org and
http://350.org/bloggers that you can use to spread the word, and
we're enormously grateful to you for doing so!
Onward,
Bill McKibben, co-founder, 350.org
