350 is the most important number in the world— This number is the safe line for our global climate and a start line for a global movement. On October 24, 2009, the International Day of Climate Action, 350.org brings together 4,000 events in over 170 nations to take action in their community, engage our world's leaders, and build an international movement to solve the climate crisis.
Talented Filipino photographer, Vito Selma, and BRIGHT Academy students from Cebu City, Philippines joined people all over the world to make a 350 statement and take a stand for a safe climate future. This picture will join others to be projected on the big screens in New York's Times Square, and delivered to major media outlets and hundreds of world leaders in the coming weeks.
“The Philippines is a country that is among the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change,” According to Nasa scientist, Josefino Comiso. The children of Cebu take action for their country and the future.
