What is 350? 350 is what climate scientist agree needs to be the PPM (parts per million)of carbon dioxiode in the atmosphere. Currently we are at 392 PPM, and rising. Prior to the 10/10/10, we are organizing an awareness campaign. Please join us by hanging a clothesline in your front yard. We will provide t-shirts painted with 350 to hang on your line. For $20 you get 3 t-shirts, clothes pins and clothes line. Stop by the 9th & B Farmstand, Tuesdays 4-7pm & Thursdays 4-7pm, and Saturdays 9-12am, or call Elli Sparks (804.475-6775) to arrange a pick up.

Then on 10/10/10, head on over to Tricycle Garden’s urban farm on Bainbridge and 9th Streets to visit a climate success story. We will spend the morning from 10 am – 1 pm preparing Richmond’s first urban farm for its winter hoop houses. After we’re done working, we’ll head on over to the Richmond Folk Festival, which is only a 15 minute walk from Tricycle Garden’s urban farm. Walk, bike, ride the bus, or car-pool to our event.
