As we learned in class our temperature is rising, over the past 100 years the temperature has been rising15-35 times faster than in previous times in history. Many people take a stance on believing that there is no climate change crisis that everything is just normal, just as it should be however our water levels are rising, our temperatures are not constant. We are having deforestation crisis overload, CO2 emissions are through the roof, our carbon footprint is nowhere close to what it is supposed to be. Not only are we ruining the environment but we are dealing with the crisis of a materialistic world, we have factories that put employees in dangerous conditions with little pay and benefits. We consume in such high amounts our landfills aren’t even suitable enough to sustain our trash. We are far from a reduce, reuse, recycle society we are more of an increase, waste and throw out kind of group. Naomi focuses on these issues and wants to change the way we look at the world especially climate change.

One of the movements Naomi has partaken in and is considered one of the boards of directors in is 350.org this group focuses on a movement that focuses on Global Climate change. They are called the 350 because their goal is to reduce CO2 emissions from 400 parts per million to below 350.
