> http://ccetompkins.org/community/whole-community-project/gardens-4-humanity
>
> Gardens 4 Humanity is a community-driven organization that promotes
> economic, personal, and neighborhood empowerment through urban  
> gardening
> and local farm connections.
>
> Coordinated by Cornell Cooperative Extension, G4H has assisted in the
> creation or support of seven educational and community garden sites in
> Tompkins County since it's inception in 2009.  These gardens have
> installed features such as native plant gardens, bird and butterfly
> gardens, raised bed vegetable and herb gardens, berry patches, rain
> barrels, etc.  There are currently more than 40 active community and
> school food gardens and orchards across Tompkins County.

> About 350.org
> http://www.350.org/
> Mission
> 350.org is an international campaign that's building a movement to
> unite the world around solutions to the climate crisis--the solutions
> that science and justice demand.
> Our mission is to inspire the world to rise to the challenge of the
> climate crisis-to create a new sense of urgency and of possibility for
> our planet.
> Our focus is on the number 350--as in parts per million CO2. If we
> can't get below that, scientists say, the damage we're already seeing
> from global warming will continue and accelerate.  But 350 is more  
> than
> a number--it's a symbol of where we need to head as a planet.
> We work hard to organize in a new way--everywhere at once. In October
> of 2009 we coordinated 5200 simultaneous rallies and demonstrations in
> 181 countries, what CNN called the 'most widespread day of political
> action in the planet's history.' This October 2010 we're organizing a
> 'global work party' all over the world. People will put up solar  
> panels,
> dig community gardens--and send a strong message to our leaders: 'If  
> we
> can get to work on solutions to the climate crisis, so can you.'
> Our theory of change is simple: if an international grassroots  
> movement
> holds our leaders accountable to the latest climate science, we can
> start the global transformation we so desperately need.
