350 or bust The 350ppm challenge to U.S. environmental organizations and the importance of McKibben's 350.org	Ken Ward	19 Jun 2008	Gristmill
Bill McKibben spoke about 350.org recently at the Jamaica Plain Forum. Coming on the heels of recent talks by Ross Gelbspan, also at the JP Forum, and Jim Hansen, in Lexington, Mass., Bill's talk completed a trifecta of area appearances by climate action patriots.

McKibben is just like his writing -- philosophical, wry ...

(The bad news: we're already closing in on 390.) The website, 350.org, officially launches in June, and in the meantime you can check out the 350 Challenge. McKibben held a conference call with bloggers yesterday, wherei ...

For Step It Up 2, people will be gathering in places that comme ...
