Plant a Tree/Bush/Vine for 350 International Climate Action Day - Oct 24 October 17, 2009

October 24th is The 350 International Day of Climate Action.
Help us reach our goal of 350 Trees/Vines/Bushes planted or pledged by Oct 24th.
***
Transition Milwaukee and The Victory Garden Initiative are hoping to inspire the planting of 350 Fruit and Nut Trees, Vines, and Bushes, in Metro Milwaukee to bring awareness to the number 3 – 5 – 0. 350 is the number of CO2 ppm in the atmosphere below which we need to be to prevent run-away climate change. We are at 390 now and we must reverse it back to 350!. (www.350.org).
