The goal of this event is to spread awareness in our community and to bring together people who believe in 350. We plan on having a 350 minute walk around the BHS track, while having various booths set up. There will be an accoustic concert, maybe some public activist speakers, and awesome raffles. And of course, we will take a 350 picture in the football field! All of this will be sponsored by my after school club, Local Environment Activist Force (LEAF). It will be a great time, but at the same time we'll be spreading awareness of the importance of 350.
