Group Leaders: Adeline Lee, Sophia Hardy
This is a North Sydney Girls' event for the global 350 campaign. This global campaign date will be on the 24th of October, 2009.
North Sydney Girls' event will be held on Friday the 23rd of October, 2009.
"350.org is an international campaign dedicated to building a movement to unite the world around solutions to the climate crisis—the solutions that science and justice demand.
Our mission is to inspire the world to rise to the challenge of the climate crisis—to create a new sense of urgency and of possibility for our planet.
Our focus is on the number 350 as in parts per million, the level scientists have identified as the safe upper limit for CO2 in our atmosphere. But 350 is more than a number it's a symbol of where we need to head as a planet.
To tackle climate change we need to move quickly, and we need to act in unison—and 2009 will be an absolutely crucial year. This December, world leaders will meet in Copenhagen, Denmark to craft a new global treaty on cutting emissions. The problem is, the treaty currently on the table doesn't meet the severity of the climate crisis—it doesn't pass the 350 test."

Plans
We will be presenting a powerpoint during assembly and possibly a speaker on the Tuesday before the event at school.
On the 23rd of October we will be taking a picture of a huge 350 made up of students in the quadrangle!
Media and NS Council need to be contacted for some publicity, so that more people will want to get involved!
