When I first sat down at my computer nearly three years ago, which was at that time sandwiched between my washer and dryer, I was determined to figure out how to launch a blog chronicling the environmental movement in New England. Aside from being technically challenged, I had only one problem: I was certain that 95 percent of the people who lived and worked here couldn't care less.
Today, with thousands of you visiting the Boston GreenScene website every month, our dedicated writers, and those of you who email us with your latest news, I am happy to say I WAS WRONG!
October 24, 2009 marks the largest day of Global Climate Action in our history. Around the world, and in more than 179 countries and over 5,000 different events, people are showing their support for leaders at the UN Climate Summit in December to adopt a fair, just and binding climate policy that will bring carbon in our atmosphere down to a safe upper limit of 350 ppm.
From tolling the Paul Revere Bell to Boston Under Water 350 Festival: a regional tongue-in-cheek creative event to ACORN and Boston Climate Action Network's Mission Hill energy fair, the Boston area has dozens of registered 350.ORG events happening through the day. Check out the INCREDIBLE photos and video and click on "find an action" for an interactive map to locate an action near you.
I hope you'll get involved. It feels great.
