350.

"I am sure the American people share with me a strong sense of the significance of this occasion and are prepared to give their full support to the United Nations to the end that our common aim of building a new and better world shall be attained."
--Former U.S. Secretary of State Edward R. Stettinius Jr.

These words, from October 24th 1945, refer to the offical ratification of the United Nations Charter. Fifty-four years later they are just as significant. Today, people all over the world are asking their leaders to support the United Nations in its efforts to reduce carbon emissions and protect our precious planet. See how at http://www.350.org/
