| 350 Carbon family portrait - a fun idea for your action photo - look up what the carbon concentration was for the year that each of your relatives was born, put your relatives in order by that year, and create your own Keeling Curve. Or grab a group of friends and stand on a large stairway (perhaps infront of your local government building) and form the ppm graph with your bodies. Don't forget to invite the media! | 350 Skit - A short street-theater/movement exercise designed to help reach out and teach people about 350. This would make a great addition to any action, and would be a great way to get a local school or theater group involved. | |

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?
