350
Global Warming, Global Action, Global Future.
350 is the red line for human beings, the most important number on the planet. The most recent science tells us that unless we can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million, we will cause huge and irreversible damage to the earth. But solutions exist. All around the world, a movement is building to take on the climate c ...learn more

| What is 350.org? |  |
| 350 is the most important number on the planet. This number measures the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide (CO2)on our planet, measured in units of parts per million (ppm). Leading scientists agree that if CO2 levels exceed 350ppm, it could lead to runaway climate change. |
|
| How do we get back on track to 350? | |
| We need an international agreement to reduce carbon emissions fast. The
United Nations is working on a treaty to be completed in December of 2009 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
But the current plans for the treaty are much too weak to get us back
to safety - we need to convince our leaders to put a higher price on carbon so that we stop using so much. |
|
| How can we take action? | |
| By taking part in creating an event to showcase your support for
reducing our C02 levels below 350ppm. Take a look at how people across
the world have made their voices heard. |
