350 Wisconsin

350 Wisconsin is dedicated to reducing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere to below the safe level of 350 parts per million. We were founded in 2012 by a diverse group of citizens who shared a deep concern about climate change. We now have an active, growing base of volunteers and supporters in Madison and south-central Wisconsin. We're one of 160 local US chapters of 350.org, a global organzation fighting climate change, whose network extends to 188 countries.

We mobilize people in our community to fight climate change. We work to block the extraction, transport and processing of dirty tar sands oil, focusing on Wisconsin tar sands pipelines. We pressure banks, pension funds, and other financial institutions to stop investing in the fossil fuel industry. And we encourage local governments, utilities, businesses and individuals to convert to renewable energy sources. We work closely with cities in Dane County on renewable energy conversion plans.
