About Toronto350.org
Toronto350.org is a local network affiliate of the international 350.org founded by Bill McKibben. We work to promote leadership in climate action. We are building a global, grassroots movement to solve the climate crisis.
We started in June 2012. We have planning meetings every Tuesday night, 6:30pm - 8:30pm at the Steelworker's Hall, 25 Cecil St (near College and Spadina). Email [email protected] to double check the meeting location.
At our planning meetings we work collaboratively to direct the organization and its campaigns. We give our members the opportunity to self-actualize by taking over the direction of a wide range of activities. If climate change concerns you, join us!
