Press Release 10/10/10 *Climate Justice Flag hoisted at Keokaradang Peak*
10 young climate action trekkers climbed the highest peak of Bangladesh today 10/10/10 at 10-10 AM and hoisted climate justice flag as part of global climate actions initiated by 350.org. The young heroes braved the adverse and inclement weather to traverse and trek the trail to Keokaradang for 3 days since 7 October, braving adverse and inclement weather, worsened by torrential rain and gusty wind. Their valor, determination and perseverance brought victory to the climate caravan. 350.org campaigns for keeping the carbon emission level within the upper safe level of 350 ppm from its current dangerous level of 392 ppm. In Bangladesh, we feel that we have been in the injustice regime due to the fallout of the the mindless sarbon emitting anti-nature development craze of the super-industrialized countries of the world. Angikar Bangladesh organized this CLIMATE JUSTICE CARAVAN with a clarion demand to the carbon emitter 'developed' countries to provide adequate and immediate compensation to the climate victim vulnerable countries like Bangladesh. The 10 young heroes are : Easel Mortuza, Athar Ali, Sajib Kumar, Nahian Bin Mahbub, Robert Bom, Ahmed Imtiaz Shihab, Azfar Sadun Khan, Saniel Azad, Munjirul Mushabbir Koushik and Shanto. ActionAid Bangladesh and the Danish Embassy, Dhaka assisted in the caravan.

If you haven't already figured out which event to join, visit the map<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=uBE1rxXcjIk738liKiBpL2svqCvkBHiH>on our website to find a work party in your community--and be sure to check out the front page of 350.org<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=6%2B9ooF0SkLHz%2FlaBfUb8%2BmsvqCvkBHiH>, which has transformed into an amazing showcase of today’s events. And a last minute request: Make sure that you document whatever you're doing today. WE NEED PICTURES, and we need them right away so we can post them on our homepage, send them to the media, and deliver them to political leaders. It's seriously easy to upload pictures to 350.org--just read the instructions in the box on the right side of this email. This year has been a hard one: political leaders have failed to rise to the challenge of the climate crisis, and we’ve seen one climate-related disaster after another. *But today represents a crucial shift--and we’re gaining momentum for the road ahead. * After today, we can move forward with a new sense of optimism and confidence--not just because President Obama decided to put solar on the White House or because the Mayor of Mexico City announced that his city will cut carbon emissions by 10% this year. We can be confident because the climate movement is bigger and more beautiful than ever before--and it’s not going away. Visit 350.org today and you’ll see that millions of people, from 188 countries, are united with a common purpose. They may speak differently or look differently or pray differently, but they all care about the same future. It won’t be easy to get on the path to 350, but we can all keep pushing for the big actions that matter--pushing with the confidence that comes with having a movement standing together. Thanks for all you’ve done--and all you’ll do in the days, weeks, and months ahead.

By spreading an understanding of the science and a shared vision for a fair policy, we will ensure that the world creates bold and equitable solutions to the climate crisis. 350.org is an independent and not-for-profit project. * What is 350? *350 is the number that leading scientists say is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. Scientists measure carbon dioxide in "parts per million" (ppm), so 350ppm is the number humanity needs to get below as soon as possible to avoid runaway climate change. To get there, we need a different kind of PPM-a "people powered movement" that is made of people like you in every corner of the planet. -- Angikar Bangladesh Foundation, Sunibir, 25 West Nakhalpara, Tejgaon, Dhaka 1215, Bangladesh. 01711806054(cell ).
