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]) .

Energy for All: Climate Justice & Energy Burden in Wisconsin ([link removed])

How much of your household income do you pay toward energy costs?
Do you think all households bear a similar energy burden?

* Liz Hachten leads the Energy Equity Work Group at 350 Wisconsin ([link removed]) ;
* Cristina Carvajal is the founder and director of Wisconsin Eco-Latinos ([link removed]) ; and
* Keviea Guiden is the energy burden coordinator for Citizen Action of Wisconsin ([link removed]) in Milwaukee and project coordinator for the Wisconsin Climate Table ([link removed]) .

Energy burden is “the percentage of household income that goes toward energy costs ([link removed]) .” Indigenous, low-income, Black, Latino, and frontline communities often spend a much larger proportion of their income on energy than other households.

Report on Madison from 350MKE member Chelsea here ([link removed]) .


Line 5 carries a particularly nasty mixture of tar sands oil and additives - they literally boil strip-mined tar stuck in sand to separate the sand, then add thinners to the gooey hot tar so it will flow.

That's what's flowing through, and leaking from, Line 5 pipes at the Mississippi headwaters, Lake Superior tributaries, and Straights of Mackinac!

Read more at: THE PROBLEM WITH THE LINE 5 OIL PIPELINE ([link removed])

[link removed]


The WI DNR will determine whether or not to approve the permits for the pipeline to continue to pump oil through our state.

Let's end our dependence on fossil fuels,
end climate change,
and save our land and water.

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 ([link removed]) ?"

We're alternating between two Chase Bank locations.
Chase Bank Calendar
* Friday October 13 - Silver Spring Dr. & Lydell Ave. ([link removed])
* Friday October 20 - Wisconsin Ave. & Water St. ([link removed])


We have signs, or bring your own!
