‘Week of Living Light’ culminates with ‘350 gathering’ Saturday
The university’s “Week of Living Light” will culminate Saturday, Oct. 24, with a gathering at 3:30 p.m. in the campus quad. Those who turn out will organize themselves into a large number “350” at exactly 3:50 p.m. A picture will be taken, and it will be sent to Times Square in New York. After the picture, participants plan to march down Highway 99W holding signs and wearing their recycled T-shirts to show their support of the cause.
The event is planned in conjunction with the 350.org campaign, an effort to alert political leaders in advance of the crafting of a new global treaty on cutting carbon emissions in Copenhagen, Denmark, in December. The scientific community has designated 350 (parts per million) as the safe upper limit for CO2 in the atmosphere.
