Dorset Humanists & 100 other Activists at Bournemouth 350.org - Copenhagen Climate Change summit 7- 18 December

Hi Jane,
Thanks for suggesting Dorset Humanists attend the 350.org photo shoot in Bournemouth on 24th October. Sorry you and Dennis weren’t able to attend.

Sharon and I are dressed in red and yellow on the arm of the ‘3’. We like to be different – everyone else dressed in blue!

At least one other DH attended – Diana? in her 50s – can’t remember her last name.

BOURNEMOUTH THREE-FIVE-O
Despite a continuous downpour, nearly 100 activists from the
Poole/Bournemouth/Christchurch conurbation surroundings gathered to
send our message to world leaders and local citizens:-
the time for complacency is long past.
The latest scientific advice is that to prevent the danger of
catastrophic the global warming CO2 level should be no higher than
350 ppm. However it is already 389 ppm and rising. Real and urgent
action is needed now to address the problem. photo Manuela Boeckle
