the International Day of Climate Action
to town

350flyer

The Louisville 350 Coalition, an affiliation of local environmental, peace, and social justice groups, will hold a 350 event on the
Great Lawn Waterfront Park Saturday, October 24 at 2:30 -5:30 pm
as part of a worldwide effort to bring public awareness to the consequences of global  climate change.
See louisville.sierraclub.org/350
for more information.


We will assemble and spell out "350" with our bodies at 3:50 PM.  There will be music, speakers, exhibits, puppets, and an aerial flyover to take a photo for the worldwide 350 event.  Come be part of the solution!  Everyone is welcome!


 
280 parts per million (ppm) of
atmospheric Green House Gases      
(GHG) was the global norm before
the Industrial Revolution.  
 
350 ppm of GHG is the safe
upper limit, say the scientific
ex
perts.
 
386 ppm of GHG is the approxi-
mate current concentration.
 
600 ppm of GHG could be our
future by 2050 if we don't curb the
rate of growth of GHG emissions
by taking full advantage of solu-
tions for improving energy effi-
ciency and using renewable energy.   
 
Which path do you
choose:
A life sustaining world-
or a climate of chaos
and destruction?
