350 is the message, writes Bill McKibben: Rutland Herald Online: “It’s been a year and a half since Vermonters helped kick off the activist phase of the climate change movement, 18 months that have seen fairly remarkable progress in jump-starting an issue that had been politically dead in this country for many years. Now, again with Vermont in the vanguard, a new attempt at winning meaningful international progress is under way.

“Now the seven of us who organized … StepItUp demonstrations last spring – myself and six recent graduates of Middlebury College – are putting together a new campaign, this one aimed at the even more difficult goal of winning a strong international treaty in the years ahead.”

– Bill McKibben, scholar in residence in environmental studies at Middlebury College
