350.org is a group that online campaigns, grassroots organizing, and mass public actions through volunteer organizers in over 188 countries. The name of the group comes from the CO2 number of 350 parts per million, a number that scientists have said that we need reach. Currently it is at 392 parts per million, and the number 350 has become a symbol of where we need to head as a planet.
Last week, there was a nationwide brainstorm session about ideas of the future. This collaborative “movement strategy session” was held in various institutions, living rooms, and community centers across the country. These ideas were discussed either online or in person.
Tonight there is a conference call with Bill McKibben of 350.org to go over the best ideas that emerged last week. He also give an update about the latest political developments on the Keystone XL oil pipeline. Last week, a few Senators and Representatives in Congress introduced legislation to fast-track approval of the pipeline.
