10/10/10

We are joining 350.org in their 10/10/10 Global Work Party event. We are going to be donating and planting 4 trees at the newly renovated Takiln Community Center on Summer Street. Our exact date and time for this event are still being decided. The 350.org event is on 10/10, and they have events all over the world. We are going to be coordinating with the Town who has offered to help us with the planting. We will be updating this information as soon as we have it.

For information on 350.org and the other events taking place that day go to their website and check it out. As they say: On that day, all over the world, people will be working for the environment. On 10/10/10, we will celebrate climate solutions and send our politicians a clear message: "We're getting to work—what about you?"

Bill McKibben and a few others begain this group just a few years ago. Here is some information on who 350.org is:

350.org is an international grassroots campaign that aims to mobilize a global climate movement united by a common call to action. By spreading an understanding of the science and a shared vision for a fair policy, we will ensure that the world creates bold and equitable solutions to the climate crisis. 350.org is an independent and not-for-profit project.

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 of people like you in every corner of the planet.

Please stay tuned and join us in planting some trees to help our environment.
