The Campus Climate Challenge student group is looking to participate in the world-wide "Climate Day of Action" set as Oct. 24, 2009. The event is being organized internationally by 350.org, an international campaign dedicated to building a movement to unite the world around solutions to the climate crisis
350.org was founded by U.S. author Bill McKibben, who wrote one of the first books on global warming for the general public, and a team of university friends. View the 350.org website>>
350 is the number that leading scientists say is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide—measured in "Parts Per Million" in our atmosphere. 350 PPM—it's the number humanity needs to get back to as soon as possible to avoid runaway climate change.
Contact Campus Climate Challenge advisor, Chemistry Professor Sherri Mason, if interested.
