Why we are 350: Scientists overwhelmingly agree that 350ppm CO2 is the upper limit to sustain life as humans have lived it. For 800,000+ years atmospheric CO2 varied between roughly 180 to 280ppm ([link removed]) (graphic).

The numbers: Mauna Loa Observatory ([link removed]) - this is NOT a record we want to set!

END THE ERA OF FOSSIL FUELS!
Friday, June 9 (June 8 - 11)

Join Us in Chicago or Madison this Friday!

Right now, we are in a critical moment of escalation.

This coming September UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres is calling ([link removed]) for a global climate accountability summit in New York City where the explicit “ticket to entry” will be tangible action to keep fossil fuels in the ground.

Biden promised to be a climate president – yet under his watch, the U.S. continues to be the biggest producer of oil and gas in the world.

In the first few years of his term, he approved more lease sales for new oil and gas drilling on federal lands and waters than Trump.

There are 50+ events scheduled across the U.S.
You have two options: Chicago or Madison!

Fridays from 12:00 - 1:00 pm
​Chase & Wells Fargo Banks
Many banks (including Chase and Wells Fargo) are lending their depositor's money to fossil fuel companies to develop new fossil fuel production.

We want more people to be aware of this and hopefully change their bank or talk to the management!

We get honks and thumbs up from drivers and passersby. Some people stop and have a chat about what the banks are doing, or ask, "What is fossil fuel ([link removed]) ?"

We're alternating between two Chase Bank locations.
Chase Bank Calendar:
* Friday June 9 - Silver Spring Dr. & Lydell Ave. ([link removed])
* Friday June 16 - Wisconsin Ave. & Water St. ([link removed])

Walk the Line - June 17/18

Join us on the weekend of June 17-18 to walk part of Enbridge's proposed expansion of the Line 5 pipeline, learn what's put at risk by the proposal, practice identifying endangered species, and meet others who are concerned! The weekend of events will take place in various parts of Ashland County.

Spring flooding and erosion has highlighted the risk that Enbridge's Line 5 poses to the Bad River, the watershed, and the region as a whole. A spill would be devastating, and a reroute wouldn't solve any of the issues the pipeline brings with it -- threatening Tribal sovereignty, threatening the climate, and threatening Lake Superior and local waterways.

Seeing the waters, woods, wildlife and more that are put at risk by this oil pipeline hammers home how important it is to shut it down. This weekend ([link removed]) is a great way to see what we're fighting for! There are lots of activities planned, including:
* A short training on identifying endangered species put at risk by Line 5
* Conversations around how to organize locally against Line 5
* A potluck
* A pancake breakfast
* A hike at Copper Falls State Park

Date: June 17th - 18th
Location: Northern Wisconsin, various locations
Lodging: We have several campsites reserved at Day Lake
Travel: We're coordinating carpools, where there's enough interest

RSVP here! ([link removed])
