Ride for the climate from New York City to Washington DC, September 26 – 30. That’s the story of the Brita Climate Ride. In addition to raising a lot of consciousness, the two hundred riders will benefit the work of Focus the Nation, the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, and Clean Air – Cool Planet.
The United Nations Environment Program is holding a youth conference in South Korea this week. Climate Change: Our Challenge is the theme. In the Fall, there will be a Global Climate Action Week. This will take place from the 19th through the 25th of September.
Then, on October 24th, 350.org is coordinating an “International Day Of Climate Action.” Their announcement says “People in more than 1,000 communities around the globe have already announced plans-there’ll be school children planting 350 trees in Bangladesh, scientists hanging banners saying 350 on the statues on Easter Island, 350 scuba divers diving underwater at the Great Barrier Reef, and a thousand more creative actions like these.”
