On Saturday, October 24, 2009, Carlisle Climate Action (CCA), is organizing a bike ride from the Town Green in Carlisle center to the Old North Bridge in Concord for the Energy Revolution Rally. Click here to see a detailed map of the route.
This rally is being spearheaded by author and activist Bill McKibben and the 350.org group. The event will be one of over 1,800 similar events that will be held in over 140 countries around the world to show our support for forging a strong international climate agreement in Copenhagen this December.
CCA will have walks, bike rides and car pools from Carlisle to this fun, informative and pivotal event. And you will hear church bells ring 350 times to signify the importance of getting and keeping carbon dioxide levels below 350 parts per million to stop dramatic climate change.
Carlisle specifics for October 24 (town green at School Street):
- 11:00: Begin ringing of the church bells 350 times
- 11:45: A walk to the Concord visitors center (via Estabrook Trail)
- 12:45: A bike ride will commence to the visitors center
- 1:30: Car pool will begin to the visitors center
- 2:00-3:30: Rally at the National Park Visitors Center in Concord (near the flagpole overlooking the bridge).

Please make history and join us in Carlisle and/or in Concord: Taken together, these combined events will quite likely constitute the largest global citizens' climate rally ever held.
