Green Up Joins 350

This past Saturday was 350's big Connect the Dots day of action, which took place all around the world. People sent in their images of climate change in their lives from countries from Uganda to New Zealand to Brazil and beyond. You can see more images HERE

We drove a couple of vans to Waitsfield, VT, where the crowd of people heard from farmers and non-profits. At the end of the day, we gathered together around a giant "dot" and had an aerial shot taken for the site.


We spent much of the day enjoying the weather and listening to speakers such as Sen. Bernie Sanders and Bill McKibben. It seems like the best place to see adorable dogs outside the shelter is an environmental rally. Of course, Ben & Jerry's had it's truck with free icecream, and of course, I went about three times. The Solar Bus was present to show support for alternative energy, which of course went along with 350's goal of bringing CO2 levels in the atmosphere down to a safe 350ppm.
