On October 24, people from around Elgin will gather to distribute and plant 350 trees as part of the largest global day of climate action ever. The event is one of more than 2,000 rallies in more than 140 nations. Local coordinators are ECCO, LWV-Elgin Area, Davey Tree, Gail Borden Library and http://www.350.org
.....This day of ACTION is designed to urge world leaders to take fast and effective action on global warming.

WHAT:
350 Norway spruce plantings are FREE to the first 350 library visitors. Simultaneously, people in every corner of the world will be taking similar action, from climbers with 350 banners high on the melting slopes of Mount Everest to government officials in the Maldive Islands holding an underwater cabinet meeting to demand action on climate change before their nation disappears.
