2009Oct24: People around the world incorporate the number 350 at iconic places. The event is organized by 350.org, an organization that argues for the need to reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere from the current level of 387 ppm to under 350 ppm, the level scientists, including Jim Hansen and David Suzuki, have identified as the safe upper limit for CO2 in the atmosphere (350.org).
