> Who imagined that a small number of environmentalists running an obscure organization called 350.org would help spark a climate-change movement that would spread globally in a startling fashion, mount a large demonstration in Washington and others across the planet, venture into the Arctic and by kayak into the waters of the American West, and actually stop the building of a pipeline slated to carry the carbon-dirtiest of energy sources from now-ravaged Alberta, Canada, to the American Gulf Coast, and -- with a growing divestment movement and other activities -- put the fear of god into the most profitable and influential corporations on the planet?
Yes, who imagined?

In the early day of GreenPolicy360, our advisor Bill McKibben was imagining what could be done as he initiated 350.org.
A tip of our hat to adventurers who imagine what can be done
And to all of us who act to make it happen!
