ConcordCAN, the Concord Climate Action Network, is organizing a [
http://www.350.org/ ]www.350.org ~event for 4/26, 12:30pm at Heywood
Meadow. (It is on Heywood Street, if you go via Walden Street from Main
Street, turn left onto Heywood; the meadow is on the right via just before
you reach Lexington Road.)This is one in a series of events leading up to
a big, worldwide global warming rally on Oct. 24. For a full understanding
of what the number means, visit the 350.org website. Briefly, it refers to
350 parts per million of CO2 in the atmosphere. ~That amount, which
climate scientists consider a tolerable upper limit, has already been
exceeded, posing great danger to the planet. Climate action organizations
worldwide are seeking to influence the outcome of the next international
conference on climate change (IPCC) in December of this year to mandate
effective reductions in CO2 emissions. The local 350 event on April 26
will involve, among other things, a picture of the assembled attendees
standing in the shape of a 350. Similar events are happening around the
world. Come and bring your whole family.~~ Contact Bob Andrews with any
questions at 978-369-2876.
