DESCRIPTION:Looking for some ideas for your local work party? We have colle
 cted some of our favorites here.  \n\nWhatever you choose to do just remem
 ber to plan a time for taking an action photo that visibly displays the nu
 mber 350 and people getting to work. That way\, we can stitch together a g
 lobal mosaic for our leaders and the media\, and show them that people all
  over the world are ready to get to work on climate solutions.  This gigan
 tic photo petition will show the world: people everywhere demand leadershi
 p on solutions to the climate crisis that will get the world back to 350.\

 s list?  E-mail them to WorkIdeas@350.org\n\n#1 Organize a Tree Planting\n
 \nPlanting trees is fun\, friendly\, and a great way to engage the communi
 ty.  And each one you plant will be a little carbon-sequestering machine f
 or years to come.  Try to shoot for planting 350 trees or more in one day!
 \n\n \n\n \n\n\n#2 Go Solar\n\nWorking on a solar project is a great way t
 o demonstrate the clean energy future right in your community.  Whether it
 s installing a solar panel on a local school\, building a solar cooker for
  your community\, or putting a solar hot water heater on your house--it is
  a great way to work with the planet\, not against it.\n\n \n\n#3 Work on 
 a Community Garden or an Organic Farm\n\nTo get to 350\, we\\'ll need to r
 ethink the way we produce food on the planet--moving away from industrial 
 agriculture powered by fossil fuels\, and towards small-scale\, local\, or
 ganic farming. Think about using your work party as a day to model this ne
 w system--maybe you can break ground on a new community garden.  Or simply
  help out harvesting at a local farm. For more info\, visit 350.org/foodan
 dfarm\n \n\n \n#4 Go For a Ride:\n\nBiking is a great way to get out and b
 e visible in your community. It also demonstrate the need for improved inf
 rastructure for our alternative modes of transportation. Think about setti
 ng up a bike repair workshop\, or painting bike lanes in your community.  
 Maybe an awareness ride of 350 miles (or kilometers) if you\\'re feeling a
  bit more ambitious?\n\n \n\n\n#5 Harness the Wind\n\nA local wind project
  can show that you\\'re serious about building the clean energy economy.  
 Putting up a turbine is a big project though\, so you\\'ll want to start p
 lanning this one early...\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n#6 Get Efficient:\n\nEnergy Ef
 ficiency is often considered \\'low hanging fruit\\' when it comes to redu
 cing carbon emissions.  It\\'s often easier and cheaper than installing re
 newable energy\, so why not start here? Whether it\\'s installing more eff
 icient LED or CFL lightbulbs in your MPs office\, insulating your basement
 \, weatherizing your church or temple\, or doing an energy audit on your s
 chool\, efficiency can help get us on the path to 350 as soon as humanly p
 ossible.  (This is also likely one of the easiest ways to reduce emissions
  really fast -- like 10% in 2010 as our friends at the 10:10 campaign are 
 helping folks to do).\n\n \n\n#7 Start a Transition Town\n\n\\'The Transit
 ion Towns\\' project is designed to equip communities for the dual challen
 ges of climate change and peak oil. By raising awareness of sustainable li
 ving and building local resilience in the near future\, making your commun
 ity a \\'transition town\\' can provide a solid framework for sustained ac
 tion at the local level. There is even a whole existing network of communi
 ties working as Transition towns that you can connect with to learn what t
 hey are doing: http://www.transitiontowns.org.\n \n\n#8 Faith Work: Connec
 tions between the world\\'s diverse religions and the issue of global warm
 ing are numerous and strike a strong moral chord. This is a great way to g
 ather people together who already have a community in which they discuss t
 he big questions -- now is the chance to add global warming to the list an
 d harness the network to start working on the solutions.\n\n \n\n#9 Trash 
 Clean Up: Sadly\, some of our iconic places aren’t as pristine as we’d
  like. Why not leave the place better than you found it?  By recycling the
  garbage you find\, you can ensure that the embedded energy in the product
 s gets reused--instead of decomposing over the years and sending a stready
  stream of greenhouse gas into the atmosphere.\n\n \n\n#10 Join the 10:10 
 Campaign: Our friends at 10:10 Global are working an ambitious project: un
 iting different sectors of society behind the simple idea that by working 
 together we can achieve a 10% cut in carbon emissions in a single year\, s
 tarting in 2010.  Their focus is on immediate\, practical action--350.org\
 \'s focus is on uniting local actions for systemic change on a global leve
 l.  350.org and 10:10 are working hand in hand in 2010\, and we couldn\\'t
  be happier about the partnerhsip-  Geographical Scope: International
