Make sure that the 24th of October is in your diaries as it is going to be a very important date for all climate campaigners across the world. Saturday the 24th of October has been designated the 350 day of action, the day when the world’s attention will be raised to the fact that we need to reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million to ensure a happy and healthy planet.
This international campaign is attempting to bring an understanding of the urgency with which the world needs to unite to work towards solutions for this, the most global of all problems. The campaign has chosen to use this important numerical figure along with graphics as these cross language divides in a way that a slogan or other text based statement can not.
As well as raising awareness the 350 campaign also aims to encourage the citizens of the world to take action on this day with events planned around the world in a variety of locations from the Taj Mahal to University campuses. Activities will include marches, mass bike rides, trash clean ups and even creating human lines at future tide levels.
You can spread the word on this brilliant campaign by passing on the website address www.350.org and attending or maybe even hosting events in your local area. Let's work together to make the Saturday the 24th October the day that the world finally reaches a knowledge tipping point, unites behind the scientific fact and commits to reducing CO2 production.
