For too long our leaders have denied and delayed, compromised and caved. That era must come to an end: it’s time to get moving on the climate crisis.
This is an opportunity to be part of something huge! We’ll be figuring out the most meaningful ways to make the climate message move, literally. We’ll show that we can use our hands, our feet, and our hearts to spur real change. In many places, people will ride bicycles, one of the few tools used by both affluent and poor people around the world. Other places people will be marching, dancing, running, or kayaking, or skateboarding. Imagine the spectacle: thousands of people encircling national capitals, state houses, city halls. Will YOU join in?
On 24th September we will get to combine our local actions into something very big and very beautiful – and put the powers-that-be on notice that the dirty status quo won’t hold much longer.
What is 350? 350 is the number that leading scientists say is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. Scientists measure carbon dioxide in “parts per million” (PPM), so 350ppm is the number humanity needs to get below as soon as possible to avoid runaway climate change. To get there, we need a different kind of PPM — a “people-powered movement” that is made up of people like you in every corner of the planet.
