Welcome to a blog that talks about issues of justice and sustainability. What is important about the number 350? This is the acceptable level of parts per million of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. Right now we are at approximately 387. Awareness needs to increase so that the number decreases. To learn more go to http://www.350.org. Here at Jewell we are interested in two numbers. We need 350 people to pledge that they will do 5 things to reduce their personal carbon footprint. The other number will be the tons of carbon dioxide that is reduced through these voluntary reductions. Can the actions of one person make a difference?
Is 350 your number?
