International Day of Climate Action


Josh, Aurora & I are at the bottom of the 3.

If you don't know, 350ppm is the safe upper limit of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere (to avoid catastrophic climate change). The amount that is in the earth's atmosphere right now is ~390ppm. Yikes! That's not even counting the amount of other greenhouse gases like methane.

Yesterday, Josh, Aurora & I attended one of over 4,000 events taking place worldwide to bring attention to the issue of climate change. We marched up Tempe Butte and then marched down to the AZ Capitol building to tell our reps that we want policy action on climate change NOW.

If you would like to send a similar message, please visit 1sky.org (to sign the petition) or just sit down today and write a letter to your representatives.

Here are their addresses:

Senator John McCain
4703 South Lakeshore Drive Suite 1
Tempe, AZ 85282

Senator Jon Kyl
2200 East Camelback, Suite 120
Phoenix, Arizona 85016-3455

Congressman Harry Mitchell
7201 East Camelback Road, Suite 335
Scottsdale, Arizona 85251

President Barack Obama
The White House

Thank you all for your support!
