350.org, launched in June 2008 by author Bill McKibben, is a campaign to rally an international grassroots movement behind a new climate target: 350 parts per million of carbon the atmosphere.

Dr. James Hansen, the United State's top climatologist warns in a document released in January this year that CO2 will need to be reduced from its current 385 ppm to at most 350 ppm if humanity wishes to preserve a planet similar to that on which civilization developed and to which life on Earth is adapted.
“350 - I want to help spread this important number, make it known by the people and the fatal consequences if we let pass this final chance,” says Liane do PV. “Brazil can change a lot, but we have to pressure our political leaders or we will lose a lot. This challenge, intelligent and committed worked out, can be a big chance for our country.”
Her video invitation to support the 350.org project and to invite the future US president Obama or McCain to UN climate conference in Poland is available on http://lianedopv.com and many video portals.
Brazil has the largest area of forest removed annually. The rainforests are of vital importance in the carbon dioxide exchange process, and are second only to oceans as the most important sink on the planet to absorb increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide resulting from industry. Loss of the biodiversity and ecological disruption caused by removal of the forests and heavy emissions of carbon dioxide released from its burning in the forest in Brazil and low environmental awareness make Brazil a big number in global warming.
