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.

Join us at the march to end fossil
fuels on September 17th in NYC
The United Nations is calling on world leaders to take real steps to lead us
off fossil fuels to protect people and the planet. On September 20th in New York, the UN Climate Ambition Summit will gather world leaders to commit to phasing out fossil fuels.
Thousands of us will take to the streets before the summit to demand President Biden take bold action to end fossil fuels.
Here is an Interest Form. If around 20+ people show interest in traveling by bus on the 16th and arriving on the 17th, marching, then getting back on the bus for a return trip on the 17th, we will coordinate with the organizers to book the bus. We will ask for a minimal price for people to secure a spot to attend.
If interested, please fill out the Interest Form. Once we reach a minimum level of interest, we will provide a link to purchase your ticket and further details about the trip including departure location, time of departure and itinerary.

350MKE Fridays for Future
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 bank 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?"
We're alternating between two Chase Bank locations.
Chase Bank Calendar
We have signs, or bring your own!
Masks and Physical Distancing as appropriate
No protest Below 25F, Above 85F, Winter Advisory, Wet snow/rain (paper signs), AQI > 80
