This Saturday: 4000 events, 170 countries to send the message that we need to take action on climate change:

Dear friends,

For 20 years the world has managed to do very little about the greatest problem it's ever faced. In five days time, you can help change that--and if you step up you're going to have a lot of company!

It looks like the International Day of Climate Action this Saturday October 24th will be the single most widespread day of political action the planet has ever seen--we're closing in on 170 nations, and more than 4000 rallies and events.

There's almost certainly an event happening near you--if you're not sure what, this link will let you find out quickly and easily:

People in all those cities and towns all around the world will be saying the same thing: science tells us that we can't have more than 350 parts per million CO2 in the atmosphere if we want a planet like the one we were born onto. That sounds complicated, but it isn't--350 is the bottom line for the earth.
