"Three Five 0" Anthem Launches
Fred Small has been a lot of things, including a well-known singer. We lured him out of musical retirement (he's now a Unitarian minister, and one of the founders of Religious Witness for the Earth) by asking him to write a 350 song, one that people could sing along to. This is it, and we love it. Take it and show it at rallies, teach it to kids choirs, do whatever you can with it. We're grateful to Fred, and to Marty Ostrow (producer of the RENEWAL documentary), and to Rosi & Brian Amador, of Sol y Canto, and to their whole crew--grateful beyond measure.

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?

Thanks go to Fred Small and Marty Ostrow and all the other singers, musicians, and producers of this fine, timely video. Hurray for this catchy, energizing, and inspiring song in the tradition of the folk music and freedom songs that sustain people around the world in their struggle for social and ecological justice. I hope that this song will bless everyone who is engaged in the urgent effort to stabilize our planet's climate -- and will draw new people in.

As an old friend of Pete Seeger, I see all the features that make his songs so popular--easy tune, natural repetition, great words, and above all--passion. I love it.
