Ch-ch-ch-changes (climate that is)

       The organization 350.org is taking a stand against climate change. Regardless of your position on global warning, as human beings we all know it is our responsibility to take care of our planet. 
 
        An organization called 350.org is concerned with climate change. A famous climatologist found that if we let the amount of carbon in the atmosphere grow above 350 parts per million, the Earth will return to the state it was in when life began evolving. This is not something we want. Unfortunately for us, there are already 390 carbon parts per million in the atmosphere. 350.org is holding an event to help bring awareness to this fact. 

         A small group in my PR class is helping promote 350.org's event on October 24. The organization asks people across the globe to hold events that make the number 350 visible to everyone, whether it's planting 350 trees or draping a sign with the number 350 on it. 
 
         Visit 350.org to find locations where the organization is having events, and also to learn about climate change.
