South Bay CGS Chapter Celebrates Global Climate Action Day

Here are some pictures that Tom Hastings took at the Climate Action Day, Oct 24, at Manhattan Beach.  This world-wide event was organized by the 350 Organization (http://www.350.org).  The purpose was to raise awareness of the goal to reduce CO₂ in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million in order for the climate to be sustainable.  CO₂ is currently at 390 ppm and rising 2 ppm each year.
