It is nice to have a goal

This is author Bill Mckibbens' latest venture post-Step-It-Up2007.  For those of you who do not know, Bill was one of the lone voices out in the wilderness decades ago calling for actions to reverse global warming.  Please work with Bill and his group.

Here is what they have to say:

 Friends,

Our goal for 350.org is simple. We want to bring together an unstoppable movement to spread the most important number on the planet. Scientists like James Hansen of NASA say that 350 parts per million carbon in our atmosphere is the very upper threshold of a safe human climate to avoid 'an entirely different planet.' That's a number the world needs to know - and we need your help spreading it.

Help us launch our website by taking action in your community with the number 350:

http://www.350.org

The heart and soul of 350.org will be actions taken by people like you all over the globe. In mid-June, we'll go live with a new website that will help people to do just that. We'll have plenty of text and materials to help people take action, but as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. That's where we need your help.

We're going to need images of all kinds that convey what it means to 'take action to spread 350' - strong images, fun images, with a few friends or a few hundred. Remember to get the number '350' into your photo in an interesting way, and then email the picture to us at organizers@350.org.  Outside of that, it's totally up to you.  With photos of people in our cities and on our coastlines, building renewable energy projects, educating citizens, or hosting a gathering of friends - when we launch we want to show the world what we can do. Over the next month we'll collect your photographs and feature the most inspirational examples front and center on our homepage. These early action pictures will be catalysts for the rest of the world.

We're counting on you all to take action and help bring this movement to life, and in turn, you can count on us to help show the world the groundswell that is building for our climate, our friends, and our future. We'll keep you up to date as things move forward, and we look forward to creating something bold, powerful and wonderful with you all.

With excitement for things to come,

The 350.org team
