Saturday's the day -- October 24, the International Day of Climate Action. So join the nearest 350 action knowing you'll be part of something big.

Very big, in fact.

This campaign has gone viral--there will be 4,000+ events taking place simultaneously in over 175 nations. As far as the 350.org organizers can tell, this is going to be the single most widespread day of political action about any issue that our planet has ever seen.


Here are some of the highlights:

* In Hungary, hundreds of bathers will jump into the public baths in Budapest and do a 350 synchronized swimming performance.

* In Nepal, over a thousand young people and monks will march to the Swayambhunath world heritage site temple where they will form a large 350 with traditional lanterns.

* In the United States, 350 people will dance to Michael Jackson's Thriller in Seattle -- because if we don't stop global warming, we might as well be undead.

* In Panama, indigenous youth will lead a moonlight vigil in Kuna Yala, their vulnerable low-lying islands off the coast of Panama, forming a 350 at sunrise.

And WHY is this called 350.org???

350 parts per million is the safe level of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere according to the latest science, and it's the target world leaders should commit to when they sign a new international climate treaty in December.
