350.org events in your state

10 October is the 350 global day of action

350.org is an international campaign that's building a movement to unite the world around solutions to the climate crisis—the solutions that science and justice demand.

350.org are calling on people around the world to organise an action on October 10 incorporating the number 350 at an iconic place in their community, and then upload a photo of their event to 350.org website.

These images will be collected from around the world and, with your help, delivered to the media and world leaders. Together, we can show our world and its decision-makers just how big, beautiful, and unified the climate movement really is. Visit the 350.org website here >>

To meet the 350 target we need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from all sources. Reducing emissions from burning fossil fuels and from logging and land clearing is essential for solving the climate challenge.

The Wilderness Society is holding actions in some of these carbon-rich forests, to draw attention to the plight of these ecosystems which if left intact, have a major role to play in securing a safe climate future.
 
Join us in New South Wales, Tasmania and Victoria in calling on Prime Minister Gillard to place forest protection at the centre of national and international climate change policies to take our planet to below 350ppm.

New South Wales:
