TRINITY TO RING THE BELL FOR CLIMATE CHANGE DAY OF ACTION
BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER
Trinity Anglican Church's bell will ring out once per minute for 350 minutes on Oct. 24.
Why? It is part of a global effort to raise awareness of growing global carbon dioxide levels
and the resulting increase in global temperature.
The website 350.org is calling on people around the world to organize an action this
Saturday incorporating the number 350 at an iconic place in their community, and then
upload a photo of their event to the 350.org website.
The idea behind 350.org is an international campaign dedicated to building a movement to
unite the world around solutions to the climate crisis.
350.org was founded by American author Bill McKibben and a team of university friends.
McKibben wrote one of the first books on global warming for the general public.

350.org - In every corner of the globe.
According to the website, the 350.org mission is "to inspire the world to rise to the challenge of the
climate crisis - to create a new sense of urgency and of possibility for our planet."
Their focus is on the number 350, as in parts per million, the level scientists have identified as the
safe upper limit for CO2 in the atmosphere.
To tackle climate change global citizens need to move quickly and act in unison. This December,
world leaders will meet in Copenhagen, Denmark to create a new global treaty on cutting
emissions.
The problem according to the website is, "The treaty currently on the table doesn't meet the
severity of the climate crisis. It doesn't pass the 350 test."
Accelerating arctic warming and other early climate impacts have led scientists to conclude that we
are already above the safe zone at our current 390 ppm, and that unless we are able to rapidly
return to 350 ppm this century, we risk reaching tipping points and irreversible impacts such as the
melting of the Greenland ice sheet and major methane releases from increased permafrost melt.
For all of human history until about 200 years ago, our atmosphere contained 275 parts per million
of carbon dioxide. This is a useful amount. Without some CO2 and other greenhouse gases that
trap heat in our atmosphere, the planet would be too cold for humans to inhabit.
Beginning in the 18th century, humans began to burn coal, gas and oil to produce energy and
goods. The amount of carbon in the atmosphere began to rise. Many of the activities we do every
day like turning the lights on, cooking food, or heating or cooling our homes rely on these energy
sources that emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The result being that are planet is currently
registering 390 parts per million CO2. This number is rising by about two parts per million every
year.

Asha Lockhart, 8, of Exeter, took part in the derby with her grandfather. Her strategy was to let her pole
rest on the pier and then to go hunting for shells. She proudly displayed her shell collection on Saturday
afternoon. Come Sunday morning her patience paid off as she ended up being the only person to catch a
trout off the south pier that day. Using her six foot pole she reeled in a 1.82 Ib rainbow trout and earned
the Eric Earle Memorial prize as a result.

As we drove closer to home the farmers were active on the land taking in the last of the harvest before the cold and the
damp could claim it.
These images juxtaposed against the thought of global warming are what I am left with as I put to bed this issue of the
Bayfield Breeze.
It compels me to join those who gather at Trinity Anglican Church on Saturday to ring the bell for climate change. For it
may only be a symbolic gesture but if we as individuals around the world sound the alarm bells loud enough those who
need to shall begin to listen.
Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome. Deadlines for submissions are Sundays at 4 p.m.
