Jonathan Doig Next time I pass a newsagent I'm buying some chalk. I'll keep it in my pocket and chalk 350 wherever I go. Chalk the talk!

Kim Nichols Cech It's going to take a lot of change, and awareness to accomplish! I'm ready to help!

Jaana Hey All! I am a HUGE fan of 350.org. We need to work together! So much is at stake. Please come to SOSreach's page and help us stir things up! http://tr.im/qSzW

David Fuller

David Fuller Now this crisis has a mathematical focus. That could be the catalyst we need to begin solving it. If this crisis is the impetus for us to start building solidarity with one another and the other species, then I believe it will be the impetus for awaking to a new paradigm that will affect every institution and every aspect of our lifestyles; living with the old paradigm we've become disconnected from our living planet and we've been deaf to her screams. We haven't only been killing the planet, but also our souls and at the same time a functional society. As part of the Bristol Transition group and Bristol Eco Show, I hope I will find a way to be a part of this important message

Joyce Kendall

Joyce Kendall I am excited that there is a global movement to have our voices heard. There's no more time to waste. Let's make some changes and save this planet. I hope my Montessori elementary class can get involved and do something local for October 24. That's also United Nations Day, perhaps you knew?

350.org
350.org
Yup. Oct. 24 is also UN Day, so we can bring awareness to the UNFCCC, the UN body that negotiates climate agreements.

Unfortunately, we can't wait for governments to get their political heads on straight--and we sure as heck can't wait for industry to understand the importance of responsible production. Hazard of putting monetary profit before community well being.

Money will only be seen as the illusion it is when Earth spits back at mankind and the money these men so lusted after will be unable to save them.

Kristen Was inspired this morning by the reading of the 1776 U.S. Declaration of Independence from Britain on NPR. They read the entire thing, and I wondered--how to write a declaration of independence from the corporations that want to make money by destroying our planet?

Tamara Tolkin For ARTIST:
At Zinnia we are going to be participating in a global event called 350 http://www.350.org/
Zinnia in South Pasadena, CA is planning a really cool event. We are going to hang 350 pieces of art, each on a wood panel that will be 350 X 350 picas (almost 5" square, that we will be providing), each piece will sell for 350 pesos (about $26.00), 350 cents of each piece will go to 350 Carbon.
This event will be unveiled Oct 24th at 3:50pm. The artist of each piece will remain anonymous, but we will be advertising the artists participating in this event in hopes to generate a lot of awarenesses. So, Zinnia is hoping to persuade you into participating in the event by sending you up to 6 wood panels per artist, and paying for the shipping both ways.
To sum it up, each piece will sell for 350 pesos ($26.22). From that amount we will send 350 cents to the 350 Carbon, then subtract .350% ($7.96), which will go to Zinnia, and then the artist will receive 14.76.

We are a group of people from around the planet—young and old, scientists and writers and activists—who have one thing in common. We know the most important number on earth: 350. And we know how to use that number to finally get global action on the worst crisis humans have ever faced.

Conrad Anker The ocean is created by millions of drops of water. Extend this analogy to your daily actions and choices and you can make a difference in the world's climate.
Every tiny action has a huge effect.

Penelope Bassett-Scarfe

Penelope Bassett-Scarfe The fastest way to halt climate change is to adopt a vegan diet, the greenhouse gases emitted by livestock ie methane, plus nitrous oxide and hydrogen sulphide created by the factory farming industries will all be addressed if we stop the slaughter of almost 60 billion animals per annum. Heck, there is less than 7 billion people on the planet, who's eating all those dead carcasses.
The other industries that will reduce significantly will be transportation that carts around the dead carcasses, refrigeration to keep the bacteria at bay on the dead carcasses, and deforestation, trees being cut down to make room for more animals and their food crops.
This food that we feed to animals would feed the 923 million + people that are starving, - a child dies every 6 seconds from malnutrition.

I would like to see that done every weekend. The communication of "global warming is important enough to do this once", vs "it is important enough to do every weekend", is the difference between a movement and an effort. The movement has succeeded, it is effort time now. It requires more of people. 350 may not ask every weekend of you (I would like... Read More them to, and they should, could now and will shortly I believe) but every weekend effort is being asked by the nation, the world, and future generations.

"A NASA scientist named James Hansen offered a simple, straightforward and mind-blowing bottom line for the planet: 350, as in parts per million carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It's a number that may make what happened in Washington and Bali seem quaint and nearly irrelevant. It's the number that may define our future."

Alfred Nobel wrote in his will
" which shall be annually distributed in the form of prizes to those who, during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind."

Geophysics is part of Physics and reducing climate change is more beneficial to mankind then any astronomical discovery or new exotic particle.

Ph.D. in Physics James Hansen the heads the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies is one of the most influential persons in fighting to reduce climate change.

Alison Heathcote

Alison Heathcote Fantastic result protesting against Mountain Top removal. Saw the film Crimes against Nature in Sydney and it was all about the Bush administration's demolition of the Appalachian Mountains. It was horrifying. in Australia the Parliamentary Secretary for Climate Change is the Labour Member for Charlston in the heart of the Hunter Valley mining area - so we seem to be following USA by appointing Ministers with a vested interest in keeping the status quo. These governments must think that we, the people are stupid - we must show them that we are not.
