10/10/10 350 Climate Action Day!


It's here - our big Climate Action Day !
I still have a whole lot to do today, gather things, load up the camper bus, refine what I will put on my letter writing table. But I did manage to come up with some sample letters:


Dear
                I am writing to express my concern over the increasing levels of Carbon Dioxide and other greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. The temperature of our planet is increasing, glaciers and arctic ice are melting at an alarming rate, and we are already seeing local disastrous effects such as fires across Russia and flooding in Pakistan. We need everyone to start working now on getting us back to 350 parts per million of CO2. This is the level that is sustainable for our planet.
                I am asking you to start taking this issue seriously. It will take all of us: public, elected officials, corporations working together if we expect to get back to 350ppm.
                                                                Sincerely,  

And of course people can write even more succinctly:


"I'm getting to work on the climate crisis--and I expect you to do the same." 

Not that any of it will make any difference to our recently elected Senator Scott Brown.... but we do what we can.

 I did a bit of lovely knitting last night, a much needed break. I'll have to post photos later.
