Today marks the 350th day of the year! But what does that have to do with climate?

The scientific consensus is clear—too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere leads to global warming, so to address the climate crisis, we have to cut pollution by a lot. We currently have over 400 parts per million of CO2 in the atmosphere, and we must get down to 350 parts per million. Our climate is at an inflection point and the actions we take have never been more important.

On this 350th day of the year, will you donate $350+ to act on climate?

Climate Solutions’ 350 Club members are an integral part of our organization and your help is needed to propel the transition to our clean energy future. There are so many solutions within reach, from cleaner, more affordable ways to get around, to safe, all-electric ways to heat and power our homes.

By making a $350+ gift today, or organizing your friends to raise that amount, you will help accelerate solutions to the climate crisis. Over 400 people are already part of our 350 Club. Will you join us?

YES, I want to join

With your support, we know that a brighter future, powered by 100% clean energy, is possible. Thank you for all that you do, and happy 350th day of the year.

Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, the importance of protecting the environment was instilled in him at a young age. Jonathan heeded the call to address the climate crisis as a teenager after watching Al Gore's documentary An Inconvenient Truth (2006), after which he sought to reduce his own climate pollution, wrote to his elected officials to support climate policy and pollution reduction, and began to volunteer in the conservation movement. Jonathan is a graduate of Willamette University with a degree in sociology and ethnic studies, which helped equip him to analyze the numerous intersections of climate, environmental justice, and public discourse.

Before joining the Climate Solutions team in 2019, Jonathan worked in the crime victims' services field and served as a board member and volunteer with OPAL Environmental Justice Oregon.
