TC 350!!

TC350 is a local group of individuals, organizations, churches, teachers, students, familes... seeking to raise awareness about global warming AND organize citizens to participate in the International Day of Climate Action with a huge public action on Saturday, October, 24 at the Open Space in Traverse City. For more information check out www.tc350.org

It’s big, big deal. It’s fully in line with the principles of faith. And we need all the help we can get to get the word out and raise awareness and promote the action on October 24.

here is more info on the movement...
Our focus is on the number 350--as in parts per million, the level scientists have identified as the safe upper limit for CO2 in our atmosphere. But 350 is more than a number--it's a symbol of where we need to head as a planet.

To tackle climate change we need to move quickly, and we need to act in unison—and 2009 will be an absolutely crucial year. This December, world leaders will meet in Copenhagen, Denmark to craft a new global treaty on cutting emissions. The problem is, the treaty currently on the table doesn't meet the severity of the climate crisis—it doesn't pass the 350 test.

In order to unite the public, media, and our political leaders behind the 350 goal, we're harnessing the power of the internet to coordinate a planetary day of action on October 24, 2009. We hope to have actions at hundreds of iconic places around the world - from the Taj Mahal to the Great Barrier Reef to your community - and clear message to world leaders: the solutions to climate change must be equitable, they must be grounded in science, and they must meet the scale of the crisis.

Chelsea,

Have to change my 'will attend' to "might attend'. As we talked Sunday, I'm serving too many gods and have to clear a few things out before I commit to another good cause.

We'll be in San Fran...and I'm sure there will be a 350 event somewhere in the big city. Would rather rally this event with you all though. What a great place for our church to represent Christ and His creation.
