I hope I'm not repeating info here, but this came in my email this morning, I checked out 350.org and was excited to see activities planned near my town. I thought others might want a look, too.

Except from LocalHarvest Newsletter (localharvest.org), Oct 22, 09, by Erin Barnett Director LocalHarvest:

"... As you have probably heard, this coming Saturday, October 24, people from nearly 170 countries are putting together over 4,000 events for the International Day of Climate Action. It is activism on an extraordinary scale, designed to send an unequivocal message to the United Nations Climate Change meeting in December. If you haven't yet visited the 350.org website, do. You will find events happening near you and see photos and descriptions of events already happening worldwide. Some are wildly creative, and many are surprisingly moving..."

I've been crying my eyes out.
It's just so heart warming that a whole world can come together like this.

I just hate that I didn't find out about the event until two days ago.

I just found out this morning. Would you have gotten some people together? Is there an event near you?

I may very well have tried to organize an event, possibly with an existing organization, had I known sooner. There were several events scheduled an hours drive, in all directions of us, but we had already made plans for the weekend.
