<br>On October 24th people all over the globe will rally in almost 2,000 actions to demand that world leaders meeting in December in Copenhagen create a plan to lower carbon in the atmosphere to below 350ppm. This is the upper-most limit for what scientists think the earth can tolerate and still have a liveable planet. Over 80 of the world's poorest and most climate-vulnerable nations have pledged their support of the 350 goal -- but the US is not on board! <br><br>We will gather on the waterfront at Christopher Columbus Park (downtown Boston) to draw attention to the Katrina-like floods that Boston may face as a result of climate change.<br> <br>Don't miss this opportunity. Join your fellow human beings, be counted, and stand up for the future of the planet. Let's turn the tide on climate change!<br><br><b><br></b><div align="center"><b>Boston Under Water 350 Festival!</b><br></div><br>A regional tongue-in-cheek creative event calling on world leaders to do the right thing at the December Copenhagen Climate Talks<br><br>WHEN?
