Oct. 24th :: 350.org – Bloomfield, NJ

This Saturday I took our son to Bloomfield College where the student Green Hearts Environmental Movement was hosting a 350.org event.  Despite the rain, over 110 people came out to march and take pictures.  It was really encouraging to see such a diverse crowd of activists, adamant about committed action on climate change.  Seen here is club president and host Michael Palmieri. Also in attendance were members of the Essex Green Party, Sierra Club NJ Chapter, and The Climate Project.
