Medford Joins ‘Boston Under Water’ Festival

Medford residents joined the Boston Under Water Festival, a series of actions in participation with the 350 International Day of Climate Action on Saturday, October 24.

The Day of Climate Action is intended to bring the attention of the world’s leaders to the urgent need for climate action, in advance of the International Climate Talks in Copenhagen December 7-18. The event spotlighted the crucial need to reduce carbon emissions to 350ppm (parts per million).

According to Greenpeace, there were 5,000 events in over 170 countries.
