SoCap producer Amy Benzinger tipped me off to 350.org, the hub of all International Day of Climate Action information today. Both Weekend Edition Saturday andBill McKibben’s organization do more justice to describing the crowdsourced activity, which the latter explains this way:
On 24 October, people in 181 countries are coming together for the most widespread day of environmental action in the planet’s history. At over 5,200 events around the world, people are gathering to call for strong action and bold leadership on the climate crisis.
I couldn’t pick just one image of the groups of 350 surfers and grandmothers coming together in the name of pushing for a binding climate change agreement, but the site’s slideshow and video provide a sense of the mass efforts behind it.
