350: Global CO2 Target
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5kg1oOq9tY[/youtube]
There is so much anxiety in the air these days, along with all that excess CO2 . I was happy to stumble upon this global movement to solve the climate crisis. I’m sure I’m not alone in wondering — hey! When are our elected leaders going to wake up and DO something about this already?! Well, guess what? It’s up to each and every one of US to do something about it, whether that means changing out your lightbulbs, walking more, buying locally, and/or calling your elected officials to let them know your concerns. This website has wonderful graphics to explain the situation, making it perfectly clear even to those of us with science deficit disorder. There is also a way to take action, find events, and sign up to receive action alerts. Bill McKibben is one of the people behind this site, which is not surprising, given his interest in the subject. His book, The End of Nature , was an early influence on my career. Order it from your local bookstore — The Ivy or Breathe Books are two in Baltimore.

I just saw this video at the California Academy of Sciences (www.calacademy.org) in San Francisco. I highly recommend a visit to this new rainforest, aquarium, planetarium, and natural history museum.
350 is the most important number on the planet and we need to spread the word!
