This year also known for the International campaign – 350.
What is 350?
The atmosphere is burning up with carbon dioxide. The effects are visibly evident. Snow caps melting, polar bears drowning, islands drowning, change in tidal patterns and other epidemics. Currently there are 390 parts per million of carbon dioxide in the layers of the atmosphere. The limit should be at 350 ppm.
Thus the event is directed towards drawing attention to the masses and the world from each others localities that there is a need for a reduction or elimination (even better) of carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere.
I was a part of the 350 campaign in Mumbai, India and these are the highlights.It began with an orientation for the evenings’ main features -

It’s very encouraging to learn that 170-180 countries were also a part of this initiative!
