a sampling of 350.org’s latest ideas for 10.10.10 workparties … plus their recommendation to:

Join the 10:10 Campaign

Our friends at 10:10 Global are working an ambitious project: uniting different sectors of society behind the simple idea that by working together we can achieve a 10% cut in carbon emissions in a single year, starting in 2010. Their focus is on immediate, practical action–350.org’s focus is on uniting local actions for systemic change on a global level. 350.org and 10:10 are working hand in hand in 2010, and we couldn’t be happier about the partnerhsip–if you want to get plugged into the 10:10 Global Campaign, just go to 1010global.org

#1 Organize a Tree Planting

Planting trees is fun, friendly, and a great way to engage the community. And each one you plant will be a little carbon-sequestering machine for years to come. Try to shoot for planting 350 trees or more in one day!

#2 Go Solar

Working on a solar project is a great way to demonstrate the clean energy future right in your community. Whether its installing a solar panel on a local school, building a solar cooker for your community, or putting a solar hot water heater on your house–it is a great way to work with the planet, not against it.

#3 Work on a Community Garden or an Organic Farm

To get to 350, we’ll need to rethink the way we produce food on the planet–moving away from industrial agriculture powered by fossil fuels, and towards small-scale, local, organic farming. Think about using your work party as a day to model this new system–maybe you can break ground on a new community garden. Or simply help out harvesting at a local farm.
