More than two dozen residents held hands and formed a circle around cones arranged in the shape of the number 350 on Saturday morning on the lawn at H. Lavity Stoutt Community College.
Like some 4,000 other groups from 177 countries around the world, they were trying to make a point about climate change.
The Saturday event was the territory’s observance of a day promoted globally by 350.org, an organisation that advocates for lowering the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million.
Presently there are about 392 parts per million, according to Linette Lewis, national coordinator of the territory’s chapter of the Caribbean Youth Environment Network.
