Thanks for that short history lesson on 350.org. I got an email in September 2009 from Avaaz about the October 24 day of action, and was so pleased to find an organization that was explaining climate change in a way that I could understand, and that also gave me a way to take action on this issue which can paralyze people with its immensity. I didn’t realize until just now that 350.org wasn’t a well-established organization at that point. You should all be so proud of what you’ve managed to accomplish – thank you for the inspiration (spurred on by the Int Day of Action on Climate Change, I began blogging about climate change from my perspective as a mom, and now am a fulltime climate activist/fossil fuel abolitionist, conscious at all times of the eyes of the future looking at those of us alive today, asking us to do something).

Professor David Orr has said that ”hope is a verb with its sleeves rolled up.” You and the rest of the wonderful folks at 350.org exemplify this. Thank you, and bless you.
