350: The Big Blow
The ‘Global Horning’ quintet will be taking part in this event in aid www.350.org
The Details:
350 parts per million is the amount of carbon dioxide the earth’s atmosphere can handle without catastrophic climate change. Sadly, we’re already at 390ppm so when global leaders meet this December in Copenhagen to negotiate the agreement that will replace Kyoto, we need to make sure they meet the goal of getting us back to 350. That’s why the organisation www.350.org , has organized an international day of climate action six weeks before the Copenhagen meetings. And the idea is catching on. Over 1,600 actions are now being planned in over 120 countries for Saturday October 24th.
It is a day for people to get together and make some noise about climate change.
What better way to do that than with the collective wind power of hundreds of brass players?
We will be playing the note F (350Hz in keeping with the 350 theme) so as long as you can do that, we need you!
