Will Richmond,CA be the first city in the nation to adopt a resolution recognizing 350.org's measure of 350 PPM of CO2 in the atmosphere as the sensible measurement to stave off extreme climate change? 

City Council member  & Richmond Vice Chairman Jeff Ritterman has been sending a letter around inviting Bay area interested parties to attend the Feb 2nd council meeting " and help Richmond make history." G.ven that Richmond is home to one of Chevron's big oil refineries, this resolution carries some additional punch,

RECEIVE a report and ADOPT a resolution in recognition of the 350 ppm CO2  as the sensible limit to prevent extreme climate change - Mayor McLaughlin  (620-6503), Vice Mayor Ritterman and Councilmember Rogers (620-6581).

This event is bringing out local climate change activists in force. Local organizations including the Mobilization for Climate Justice, the Asian Pacific Environmental Network, Communities for a Better Environment, the West County Toxics Coalition, Environmental Health & Justice for Richmond are urging supporters to meet before the city council meeting and participate in a meeting and rally.
