350 Humboldt’s monthly general meeting is now on the first Wednesday of each month at 6pm. On December 6 we will hear Mark Andre describe the City of Arcata’s offsets programs. Offsets are instances of carbon sequestration (often forests) that are sold to businesses who want to limit their carbon footprint. If you fly, for example, the air carrier will offer you a chance to “offset” the carbon dioxide emitted by the flight with some unrelated way of sequestering those emissions.
We will also hear from poet Anne Fricke and get updates from our committees

Land Acknowledgement: 350 Humboldt would like to acknowledge that where we live and hold our meetings in Humboldt County is on unceded territory and the ancestral homeland of indigenous nations which include Tolowa, Hupa, Karuk, Mattole, Wailaki, Wiyot, and Yurok.
We thank indigenous nations who have been caretakers of the land. Additionally, we recognize that the well-being of all people is bound up with that of indigenous peoples, and we must all take action on the climate.”
Therefore we will support the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe for their work in opposing the DAPL pipeline.
