350.org: Because the world needs to know
What does the number 350 mean?
350 is the most important number in the world—it's what scientists say
is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Two years ago, after leading climatologists observed rapid ice melt in the
Arctic and other frightening signs of climate change, they issued a series of
studies showing that the planet faced both human and natural disaster if atmospheric
concentrations of CO2 remained above 350 parts per million.

Everyone from Al Gore to the U.N.’s top climate scientist has now embraced this goal
as necessary for stabilizing the planet and preventing complete disaster. Now the trick
is getting our leaders to pay attention and craft policies that will put the world on track
to get to 350.

Is 350 scientifically possible?
Right now, mostly because we’ve burned so much fossil fuel, the atmospheric
concentration of CO2 is 390 ppm—that’s way too high, and it’s why ice is melting,
drought is spreading, forests are dying. To bring that number down, the first task is to
stop putting more carbon into the atmosphere. That means a very fast transition to sun
and wind and other renewable forms of power. If we can stop pouring more carbon
into the atmosphere, then forests and oceans will slowly suck some of it out of the air and
return us to safe levels.

Is 350 politically possible?
It’s very hard. It means switching off fossil fuel much more quickly than governments
and corporations have been planning. But we can change that--if we mobilize the world
to swift and bold climate action, and shift the world to a clean energy future.

BIRTHDAYS CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.
There are a billion people living without clean water. Four Septembers ago, we had a crazy idea. We asked our friends to give up their birthdays and ask for donations instead of gifts. We used 100% of the money raised to build water projects. Every year, it got bigger. We've now helped over a million people get clean water. This September, join us again. Watch the Trailer. Start a campaign. Give up your birthday. It can change the world.
