EcoReport - October 22, 2009

On Saturday people in Bloomington will gather as part of the largest global day of climate action ever with more than 2,000 rallies in 140 nations to urge world leaders to take action on global warming. This is the first global campaign ever organized around a scientific data point: 350 parts per million CO2 is the safe upper limit for the atmosphere, according to the latest scientific data. Local organizer Michael Becziewicz joins us in the studio this week to talk about the Bloomington 350 Climate Action Festival. EcoReport is a weekly program providing independent media coverage of environmental and ecological issues with a focus on local, state and regional people, issues, and events in order to foster open discussion of human relationships with nature and the Earth and to encourage you to take personal responsibility for the world in which we live. Each program features timely eco-related headline news, a feature interview or event recording, and a calendar of events of interest to the environmentally conscious.
