350.org is a website dedicated to climate change and was started in 2008 by Bill McKibben, an eccentric environmentalist and professor. On the page there is a short, wordless video to accentuate the importance of a global movement. I would highly suggest watching it. What does 350 mean and how can we make this number possible?

Also in the news is the State Department’s approval of the XL Keystone Pipeline, and this project is protested by McKibben and his team. Attached is the New York Times article from Friday’s paper.
