Bioneers by the Bay/New Bedford 350 Day of Action
24 October 2009 - 5:00pm
On Saturday October 24th, during the 5th Annual Bioneers by the Bay: Connecting for Change Conference there will be a 350 Day of Climate Action Event in Downtown, New Bedford, MA, at 5:00pm.
The focus of the Bioneers by the Bay/New Bedford, MA 350 Day of Action will be to bring regional awareness to the importance of the number 350 through the demonstration of seal level rise in Downtown New Bedford and to demand international action on climate change in Copenhagen this fall. Callum Grieve of the Climate Group will speak, Climbing poeTree will perform and Tem Blessed will perform a spoken word piece. All of which will be focused on climate change and 350. In addition there will be a photo-op and a petition based action.
We invite you to join us and thousands of others to let the SouthCoast region and our representatives know the importance of the number 350 and that we are ready to ACT!

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 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 another organization--there are already too many things going on!
- Do you measure 350 in CO2 or CO2e?
