Tel Aviv Rollers 350 marathon tour
24 October 2009 - 7:00am
At least 350 rollers (bicycles invited) will have a special 350 marathon.
On Saturday 24/10/09 7:00 in the morning, there will be busses leaving the Cinematek plaza of Tel Aviv to near the town of Beit Shemesh, 35 minutes drive.
We will roll route 38 south in order to emphasize the current ppm level of upper 380's. We will go generally down in elevation but there will be some uphill to indicate the hardship of lowering the emission level.
We will get to route 350 west, indicating the aim of 350 ppm.
The route will end at the town of Quiriyat Gat, after completing 35 km, where the busses will pick us back to Tel Aviv.
Upon arrival to the Cinematek Plaza, we will meet 12:00 more people on rollers and bike, and together we will make a 350 parade to Tel Aviv port and back.
The tour will demonstrate alternative non polluting traffic and will promote the idea of 350.org:
Lower the CO2 rate of 389ppm down to the sustainable rate of 350ppm.
At the end - we will celebrate at the Dancing Camel Brewery.

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?
