[Caroline Yacoub]

If anybody wants to go to the Commonwealth Club event please contact Caroline. I 
know where it is, I know how to get there, I know where to park, I'm willing to 
drive if somebody else will help pay the parking. I'm not going alone.

Subject: Upcoming 350.org events in the Bay Area


Dear friends,
In the early part of September, 350.org co-founder and environmental author Bill 
McKibben will be visiting the Bay Area for a few days. We want to be sure that 
you have a chance to see him speak and meet him in person while he’s in town.
This will be an opportunity to hear about the large-scale civil disobedience 
that’s been taking place in front of the White House in protest of the proposed 
Keystone XL project (a tar sands crude oil pipeline that would run from Alberta, 
Canada through six Midwestern states to the Gulf of Mexico), and also to learn 
more about our upcoming global day of action, Moving Planet, on September 24.
Please take a moment to check out the details of Bill’s speaking events, listed 
below. There will be 350.org staff or volunteers on hand at each of them to make 
sure you’re able to plug in to the Bay Area Moving Planet event on 9/24.
We hope to see you there!
Many thanks,
Anna Goldstein, U.S. Campaigns Coordinator

What is 350? 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 350ppm is the number humanity needs to get below 
as soon as possible to avoid runaway climate change. To get there, we need a 
different kind of PPM–a "people powered movement" that is made of people like 
you in every corner of the planet.
