350 weekend - October 9 & 10

I'm speaking at the 350.org rally

Well the weekend started out with a 350 rally on Saturday in downtown San Rafael to jump start the 10.10.10 volunteer day. Our volunteer day was another workday at the garden but we also highlighted how the edible garden will help to fight global warming.

 We continued to build the boardwalk, and laid the brick patio for our outdoor kitchen and stage area.

10.10.10 The Science of 350

On October 10 at 10 am, or 10.10.10, people around the world will particpate in a global work day to promote awareness about global warming. Our work day this Sunday on 10.10.10 will be in honor of this event since our organic edible garden helps in taking care of the planet, uses clean energy, and protects the local watershed.

Did you know that scientists say that 350 parts per million (ppm) CO2  in the atmosphere is the safe limit for us to live? Currently the world is at 390 ppm's which is why the ice caps are melting and our climate is changing. Learn more about 350—what it means, where it came from, and how to get there. http://www.350.org/
