Saturday, September 24, 2011     A GLobal Day of Climate Action. In 2010, the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere was just shy of 390 parts per million (ppm) -- well beyond the 350 ppm that leading climate scientists say is the safe upper limit for CO2 in our atmosphere. Despite the evidence that burning fossil fuels is the chief culprit, however, efforts to curb CO2 emissions are at a standstill. To change the political dynamic, people across the globe will mobilize on September 24, calling attention to the need to get off of fossil fuels and move towards a sustainable, renewably-powered future. Make plans now for your League and your community to be a part of this worldwide demonstration -- Moving Planet -- and help send a message to policymakers that it's time to get moving on the climate crisis. Find more information and planning ideas here.
