Silent Climate Parade
Oct. 24th | Global Day of Climate Action | 350.org
October 24th is the ‘Global Day of Climate Action’ organized by Bill McKibben, who’s behind 350.org. 350 ppm are the top level of particulates – carbon dioxide particles in parts per million – that can be tolerated in our atmosphere in order to reach a sustainable level, to make a dent along the global warming axis towards disaster. We need to cap at this amount, to reverse the process, or attempt to slow it down.
Here’s an excellent 6 min. video of 350 dot org’s Berlin, Germany Silent Climate Parade 2013 (different year, but captures the essence)

The impetus of the voices around the world calling attention to this is to put forth to the attendees of the Copenhagen Climate Conference glaring ahead, the need to acknowledge the importance of making a coordinated worldwide effort to reduce the number of particles contaminating the environment to a sustainable level of 350ppm.
This will be the most widespread day of political global action in world history. 4,500 events have been planned in 177 countries. McKibben mentioned in an interview with Amy Goodman of “Democracy Now”that the people of the United States “are the most addicted, and therefore most in denial” about the issue.
I’ll be attending among others the Berlin, Germany, Silent Climate Parade. Here are pics from 350 dot org Climate movements worldwide. https://www.flickr.com/photos/350org/4046302796

By the way, here in Berlin is the last evening of the Festival of Lights, so catch it while you can.
