TC350 - Traverse City, Michigan

Traverse City, MI takes part in the global 350.org event on October 24, 2009 at the Open Space park.

The first number is 390, our current level of parts/million of CO2 in the atmosphere. The factory on the left is spewing CO2 molecules that are circulating over the 390 number and being absorbed by the trees on the right. As the CO2 molecules slow, the number changes to 370. As the CO2 molecules slow even more, the number changes to 350.

Rock-On TC-350, just a wonderful depiction of the great people and the fantastic attitude that we have here in northwest Michigan.

But its not over, October 24 was just the kick-off to pushing our leaders to do the right thing in Copenhagen. Contact your elected leaders, but maybe more importantly, talk to your neighbors, friends, and family. Extend the 350 mesage as far as possible!!

And thanks to all who organized an event we should all be proud to bear witness to!
