Moving San Diego to a Clean Energy Future

 Join the Worldwide Rally to Demand Solutions to the Climate Crisis!

 

Scientists tell us that 350 parts per million is the safe upper limit of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. Currently we are at 394 and rising rapidly. Click here to read about the effects and dramatic impacts this could have on our community, nation, and world.

 

Join SanDiego350.org along with thousands of people all over the U.S. for a march and rally to let our elected representatives know that we need them to act now on climate change. In San Diego this event will take place on September 24th from 11am -1pm in Balboa Park.

Move the region forward to ensure the 2050 San Diego

Regional Transportation Plan to reduces Carbon emissions

 

Fund public transit and bicycle transpotation 

 

Put a price on carbon emissions

 

Invest locally in clean energy and clean energy jobs
