Back to 350: Global Call for Climate Action

Come to the MIXX 96 Meeting Room on Monday, October 12 from 7:00-9:00 pm and learn about the science, the politics, and the grassroots movement to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide to 350 ppm—the number that leading scientists say is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide measured in our atmosphere. We are currently at 390 ppm, but 350 ppm is the number humanity needs to get back to as soon as possible to avoid runaway climate change.

This December, world leaders will meet in Copenhagen, Denmark to craft a new global treaty on cutting emissions. The problem is, the treaty currently on the table doesn't meet the severity of the climate crisis —it doesn't pass the 350 test.

The MIXX 96 room is on the corner of State and Washington streets, in downtown Olympia. Bring your own mug to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea along with other refreshments. This event is sponsored by Transition Olympia and Olympia Climate Action http://www.transitionolympia.ning.com
