The weekend is fast approaching and we at PSP do love our weekends. We’re looking forward to this one even more than usual, as many of you readers will know, this Saturday is 350.org.
For those of you living outside the climate gossip-sphere, 350.org is a global day on which everyone throws a party (or a parade) to raise awareness about climate change. Yes, any party – the Maldives cabinet will hold their meetings under water. 350ppm is the level of carbon dioxide saturation in our atmosphere that is considered to be the safe upper limit.
350 events can range from a bbq or a sleep over to mass action events.
Picnic in the Park
PSP, PeaceTrain, Oxfam, World Vision and Friends of the Earth Brisbane are holding the Picnic in the Park at Newfarm park in Brisbane. At 3pm, join in our event which will include picnics and acrobatics! New Farm Park Picnic in the Park will be the culmination of the day’s events (there is an earlier event in West End – Ultimate Frisbee for 350!) and a major chance to generate media coverage – so bring everyone!
Be there from 3pm-5pm to enjoy live music, stilt walkers and a circus performance and to be a part of making a daisy chain of messages to send to Canberra. We will have a Very Special Guest arriving by city cat at 3.22pm, so if you’re feeling ever so slightly green on Saturday, or even lonely please bring a snack and a blanket to Newfarm park.
Location: In New Farm Park, close to the riverside and the Powerhouse.
