Spread the 350 Word
It can if that number is 350. That’s the safe upper limit of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere: 350 parts per million (ppm).
Already, churches are ringing their bells 350 times and
Buddhist monks have formed a huge 350 with their bodies against the backdrop of the Himalayas. People are baking 350 cakes, planting 3,500 trees, and doing whatever they can to spread the word about 350. On October 24 it’ll get even bigger with events from the Taj Mahal to the Great Barrier Reef. Over a thousand groups in almost sixty countries have signed up for what should be the biggest day of grassroots action on climate change ever. The movement’s gaining particular momentum in the developing world where the impact could be greatest.
There is a lot to like about the number 350. We are already at 389 ppm and climbing.
