The focus is on the number 350 because it is ”the level scientists have identified as the safe upper limit for CO2 in our atmosphere.”

Thousands around the world participated in the Day of Action by incorporating the number 350 in a photo somewhere in their community and sending photos to the 350.org website.

Many Twitter users around the world showed support for the Day of Action by sharing TwitPics of their communities and themselves with the number 350.
