350 Sacramento

350 Sacramento is a local grassroots organization committed to equitable solutions that accelerate the transition to a sustainable future, with atmospheric carbon dioxide levels below 350 ppm. We believe in a world with a safe climate, where nature is respected and protected, and our social, political, and economic systems work for all people and the planet. You already know the need for climate solutions is urgent. We're here with resources on what you need to know about climate change and how to get involved in saving the future of this planet - right here in Sacramento. We support local initiatives that work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote low carbon lifestyles with equitable solutions for all communities. Together we can help build a super-charged global climate movement at the local level by engaging with our local Sacramento area community members and organizations. 350 is the number that leading scientists say is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. Scientists measure carbon dioxide in parts per million (ppm), so 350 ppm is the number humanity needs to get below as soon as possible to avoid runaway climate change. We reached 400 ppm in 2013. Only three years later in 2016, scientists said we may never return to levels below 400 ppm. While the situation is more urgent than ever, together we can create solutions to reduce the impacts of climate change for current and future generations. Along with awareness and action, 350 Sacramento values openness, honesty, respect, and fun. We speak when we need to speak, and listen when others need to be heard. There's always something new to learn and and an old lesson to remember. And no lie, climate activism can be rough, but that's why we like to play and have fun with the work we do. We can look at climate change as an opportunity to improve the planet we depend on, and support each other in our shared mission. If you don't have the capacity right now to volunteer, we also accept donations with plenty of gratitude! B.S. in ...
