350 Marshallese style

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Youth to Youth in Health organized a rally that "was really great," according to one of the main organizers Benedict Yamamura. "It started from the 'spoon' [in Rita village and went] all the way to the former weather station [in Delap Village]," he says, effectively covering the most populated areas of Majuro Atoll, the capital of the Marshall Islands.

"Rosalie from V7AB was able to broadcast the rally and we were told to lead the whole parade," said Yamamura, pictured above. "I described what's 350," he said, as in parts per million, the level scientists have identified as the safe upper limit for CO2 concentration in our atmosphere.
