<350
Weʼve been there: atmospheric concentration of carbon
dioxide (CO2) of 350 parts per million (ppm).
On this day twenty years ago, when Dr. James Hansen of
NASAʼs Goddard Institute of Space Studies warned the US
Congress of global warming forced by greenhouse gases
emitted through human activities, CO2 stood at 350 ppm.
That was then. Today it is up to 385 ppm. Sixteen years after
the UN Convention on Climate Change was agreed upon to
stabilize greenhouse gases at a level preventing dangerous
human interference with the climate system, global carbon
emissions are still increasing – more rapidly than ever. We
are well on our way to 450 ppm and beyond.
What does the best science tell us?
Until recently, scientific consensus set the safe zone to avoid
the worst effects of climate change at 450 ppm. But today
the latest science tells us the danger zone may already
begin at 350 ppm. Catastrophic effects cannot be ruled out if
levels above 350 ppm are maintained for a long time.
What does this mean?
Weʼve gone too far – in a dangerous direction. Now we know
enough. To act now. To foresee and forestall any risk of
massive and irreversible damage to the earth and all its
inhabitants for generations to come, we must reduce
atmospheric CO2 to levels below 350 ppm. Scientific insights
bring political responsibilities. We need leadership that
respects the planetary boundaries of life.
We, the signatories of this message from all continents, call
upon all nations in the ongoing climate negotiations to adopt
350 as the target to be reached peacefully and deliberately,
with all possible speed.
350 is one of our planetʼs boundary conditions. It should not
have been transgressed. We must go back for a future:
<350 essential to maintain human and planetary well-being
Remember this number for the rest of your life.

Да спасим планетата за децата на нашите деца!Присъеденете се към нас! Загасете лампите за 3 минути на 6 април (неделя) от 8 часа вечерта!
Как да намалим консумацията на електричество?
Няколко полезни съвета....
• изключвайте компютрите и периферията, когато не се използват
• сменете си осветителните тела с енергоефективни, ако се използват продължително време –
една енергоспестяваща лампа с мощност 20W доставя същото количество светлина, както лампа с нажежаема жичка с мощност 100W
• инсталирайте светлинен сензор за изключване на осветлението при отсъствие на хора в стаята
• нека последният човек от вашия офис, клас и др. да има задължението да спира
осветлението, отоплението, копира, принтера и др. устройства
Какво още?
Ако искате да се включите в гражданската кампания за разумно използване на електрическата енергия и така да се опитаме ЗАЕДНО да повлияем върху промяната на климата чрез промяна на нашата ежедневна дейност у дома, в училището и на работа, то Нека заедно да загасим за 3 минути осветлението си на 6 април (неделя) от 8 часа вечерта. Застанете пред прозорците и вижте колко от вашите съседи, колеги, приятели, мислят като вас!
Ние всички можем ЗАЕДНО разумно да пестиме енергията. Така не само ще спестяваме пари, но и ще защитим Природата от влиянието на климатичните промени!
Присъеденете се към нас! Загасете лампите за 3 минути на 6 април (неделя) от 8 часа вечерта!
*Препратете това писмо до своите познати и от ваше име – това също ще е вашият принос!
