Announcement: Robert Swan to join Brooklyn Bridge Walk with 350.org

I've just received confirmation that Robert Swan, who will be in New York City for his book launch on October 27th, will be arriving early in order to be able to join me and other New Yorkers in 350.org's Global Day of Climate Action in a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. To quote 350.org's website, "350 parts per million is what many scientists, climate experts, and progressive national governments are now saying is the safe upper limit for CO2 in our atmosphere". The 350.org grass roots movement exists to raise awareness leading up to the Climate Change Conference in December in Copenhagen, and to "hold our decision-makers accountable to producing a treaty that is strong, equitable, and grounded in the latest science."  As of today, there are 2,252 actions planned in 152 countries on October 24th. Following the bridge walk, 350.org will be holding a press conference in Times Square where pictures from these actions all over the world will be shown. Robert will be speaking to the crowd after the walk, and hopefully again as an MC at the Times Square event.

New Yorkers...PLEASE come walk with me! We'll meet on the Manhattan side at 12 noon. You can sign up at http://www.350.org/node/7423
