[GPSCC-chat] Bill McKibben in SF tomorrow!

[Gerry Gras]

Long story short, I have 3 extra tickets to the
Commonwealth Club event.  If anyone wants one, please
let me know today.

And Caroline has 4 spare seats in her car, if you
get to Fred Duperrault's by 10:30 AM.  His address
is 500 E. Middlefield, #45, Mountain View.

(I expect to be away from my computer from about
3:30 PM to about 10:30 PM.)

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 <http://act.350.org/go/52?akid=1214.8388.UUzM5e&t=1> 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 <http://act.350.org/go/78?akid=1214.8388.UUzM5e&t=2>, 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 <http://act.350.org/go/299?akid=1214.8388.UUzM5e&t=3> 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.
