This Sunday, join the world in Solutions!

This Sunday, October 10, millions of people around the world will join in hopeful climate solutions and send our politicians a clear message: “We’re getting to work—what about you?” There are over 30 work parties in the Greater Puget Sound region.  They are part of 5,500 worldwide! Local projects range from beach clean-ups and harvesting produce, to installing solar panels and weatherizing homes. There’s a big Coal to Solar Fair at 10 a.m. at Gas Works Park organized by the Sierra Club and Sustainable Wallingford. Most events are family-friendly and hands-on.

The Global Work Party this Sunday, October 10 is sponsored by Climate Solutions' partner 350.org. Climate science tells us that 350 parts per million of carbon dioxide is the safe upper limit for our atmosphere to support healthy human life and the ecosystems upon which we depend. In the last 200 years, we have shot from about 280 parts per million to nearly 390, and we’re still increasing our level of global warming pollution every year.

Our colleagues at Moontown are co-hosting the AFTER Work Party “Party” (7-10 p.m.) in South Seattle with our friends from the Global Music Project, Sierra Club, Sustainable Seattle, and other great organizations. Feel free to stop by, mix and mingle, and enjoy a tasty beverage (or two) while celebrating all the good work communities are doing to reduce our carbon footprint.  The party will feature live and recorded entertainment from around the world.  RSVP at the Facebook page so we know how many people to expect.
