***Austin 350 Movement***
24 October 2009 - 3:50pm
Beginning at 3:50 p.m. Saturday, October 24th we'll gather at the base of the UT Tower on the South Mall.
Shortly there after THE WALK WILL BEGIN towards the Capitol building.
Consider showing your support by making/wearing CREATIVE solutions-based signs with ideas for SOLVING our climate crisis.
Bikes, kids, dogs, mom's, dad's, neighbors, friends, enemies, republicans, democrats, insured, uninsured, employed, unemployed, indifferent or committed...ALL are encouraged to participate because climate change will affect everyone!
Once we make it to the Capitol, a group photograph will be taken to document our support of the 350 mission. This image will be provided to the 350.org team so they can use it to pressure the media and world leaders to include the 350ppm target in the UN Climate Treaty negotiations this December.
Additionally, the 350.org team has recently secured permission to display the 350 photos from around the world on the massive screens in the heart of New York City, with global media standing by to broadcast the story worldwide!
Let's get movin' for CLIMATE SOLUTIONS!
Hope to see you there...and please help spread the word!

Understanding 350
- So, what is global warming and what's the problem anyway?
- And what does this 350 number even mean?
- If we're already past 350, are we all doomed?
- How do we create the political change to steer towards 350?
- How do we get the world on track to get to 350?
- How do we actually reduce carbon emissions to get to 350??
- Will this thing work? Will world leaders listen?
- Where did this 350 number come from?
- Isn't America the biggest source of the problem? What about China and India?
- 350 is just a number. Wouldn't "Climate Emergency" or "Clean Energy Now" be a better call to action?
- And what about all the other targets people are aiming for?
- Why October 24th?
- Why another organization--there are already too many things going on!
- Do you measure 350 in CO2 or CO2e?
