Born out of a drive to advance renewable energy initiatives in DuPage County, Illinois, 350 DuPage is a chapter of 350.org, an international environmental organization whose mission it is “building a future that’s just, prosperous, equitable and safe from the effects of the climate crisis.”
According to 350.org, “Ten years after 350.org’s first global day of action, we celebrate our wins, reflect on lessons learned, and look to the fights ahead.
When we started organising back in 2009, we saw the climate crisis as the most important issue facing humanity – but climate action was mired in politics and virtually stalled.
We didn’t have a straight answer for how to fix things, but we knew what was missing:a climate movement that reflected the scale of this crisis. Ten years later, we see people from all walks of life committed to taking action to solve it. And we’re growing every day.
To build a just, equitable, and fossil fuel-free world, we need you with us. Take a look at the timeline below to see how far we’ve come, and the movement you’ve helped build.”
Campaigns that 350 DuPage tackles includes the continued transition of Pace Bus vehicles to all-electric or hybrid, helping to phase out fossil fuel use in their fleet. To get involved, please visit our Facebook page by clicking the button below.
