Salt Lake City 10/24 Event
|
Our 350.org event was held at Library Square, 2nd East and 4th South, in Downtown Salt Lake City, Saturday, October 24, 2009, 2-5 pm. Click here for map. About 800 came! Bringing their family and friends. This was part of the call for Climate Justice as our leaders head to Copenhagen.
What we asked:
Come - inspire and be inspired - be part of the solution:
Learn - organizations focused on social justice and environmental issues will be there providing information and answering your questions - our list of sponsors is growing
Create - there will be many opportunities to admire and create art focused on the 350 message - Check out our Call for Artists.
Listen - local artists will perform and local speakers will inspire you to action
Participate - in delivering our international message to Copenhagen - at 3:30 pm we will all gather together to create a huge human 350 which will be photographed at 3:50 pm and sent to 350.org as part of this international call for Climate Justice
For more information, contact: Joan M. Gregory, green@slcuu.org.
So, what's 350 about anyway?
No time for a long wordy explanation - check out this 90 second video created by 350.org. 350.org did their best to boil down the science of global warming and vision of the 350 Campaign in 90 seconds.
In a landmark series of studies, NASA climatologist, James Hansen and his team have shown that if we let the amount of carbon in the atmosphere top 350 parts per million, we can’t have a planet “similar to the one on which civilization developed and to which life on earth is adapted.”
The bad news is we’re already past this number — we’re at 390 parts per million and climbing, which is why the Arctic is melting, why drought is spreading across the planet, why people are already dying from diseases like dengue fever and malaria occurring in places where they’ve never been seen before.
The good news is that number gives us a target to aim for. When the world’s leaders meet in Copenhagen in December to reach agreement on a new climate treaty, we need them to go further than they’ve planned to go: we need to make sure they’ll pay attention to the latest science and put forward a plan that gets us back to safety.
People in communities around the globe are coming together on this day (October 24, 2009) to focus attention (ours and our leaders') on getting us back to 350. Our goal is to change the conversation and the results in Copenhagen, improving our chances for a livable future.

"Dear Friends,
Normally, we're obsessed with the number 350 -- the safe upper limit of CO2 in the atmosphere measured in parts per million.
Right now, we're focused on 35,000.
35,000 is the number of invitations to the UN Climate Meetings we want to send Senators Obama and McCain before the Election on November 4. We're almost at 30,000 invites now, and if you use our new tool to pass the word along to just 5 friends, we could blow past the 35,000 mark. You can write your own e-mail too--just be sure to tell them to visit
www.350.org/invite
I know many of you are pretty focused on the upcoming U.S. Election right now, and with good reason. But, since 350.org is a non-partisan group, we're not legally allowed to try to influence the outcome of the election. What we can do is work to hold whoever is elected accountable.
That work will take a global movement -- and we need to build it quickly. There are only 12 days left until the U.S. Presidential election. And only 39 days until the UN Climate Meetings begin.
The internet is designed for moving fast -- but your email box can't forward this message on by itself (if it can, start backing up your files now!).
Will you pass it on?
Thank you for doing your part,
Jamie and the rest of the 350.org team"
