24th October is International Day of Climate Action. In Cape Town a hike up Table Mountain has been planned for this weekend (on the 24th) to raise awareness around climate change. The idea is to form a human “350” at the top of the mountain which will be filmed form the air and shown at the Climate Change conference to be held in Copenhagen in December. This is part of a global initiative.
350 is the number that scientists have indicated is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide—measured in "Parts Per Million" in our atmosphere. 350 PPM—it's the number humanity needs to get back to as soon as possible to avoid runaway climate change.
