No, the historic chimes at First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the heart of Eugene are not malfunctioning and the bell ringers at First United Methodist Church haven’t gone bonkers. We are tolling 350 times this morning to call attention to the 350 Campaign (www.350.org), a worldwide effort to reduce CO2 emissions until the atmosphere returns to a sustainable level of 350 parts per million (ppm).
