Fun with stencils - print out this on sturdy paper, find scissors or an exacto knife (please be careful!) and make your own stencil. You can then get some paint and anything you want to stencil, and create your own 350 materials! Good things to stencil include bags, t-shirts, hats, and signs. |

Public art - if there's a way to incorporate 350 into a public piece of art such as a mural, this can be a great way to inspire and 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?
