350.org is an international environmental organization whose goal is to build a grassroots movement to combat climate change. It takes its name from the research of NASA scientist James E. Hansen who theorized that if CO2 level in the atmosphere exceeds 350 parts per million, it could cause a global catastrophe. The increasing pollution worldwide has now pushed the level of CO2 in the atmosphere above this limit and 350.org is spearheading a movement to reduce the CO2 level to below 350 ppm. It is organizing a global "day of positive action on climate change" on 10-10-10. In this connection, MGP and the Institute of Engineers, Mysore Local Chapter are organizing a program at 10.10 AM on Sunday, 10-10-10 at the Institute of Engineers, JLB Road. Vasanthkumar Mysoremath, the 350.org organizer for Mysore District will give a power point presentation on CO2 emissions followed by a short film on the same topic.
