"After organizing global climate strike protests over the past year, Fort Worth activists were proud of their efforts to draw attention to climate issues in Tarrant County. But they didn’t want their advocacy to stop there. That’s why the environmentalists behind Global Climate Strike Fort Worth recently established a Fort Worth chapter of 350.org, an international organization focused on ending the use of fossil fuels and replacing them with renewable energy sources. The group, founded in 2008, draws its name from climate scientists’ warning that 350 parts per million is the safe limit for the amount of carbon in the atmosphere if humans seek to avoid catastrophic climate change. Among his many goals for the new chapter, 350.org Fort Worth president Chayton Creswell hopes that the group can center climate-change issues that are often secondary focuses of other local environmental organizations."
