A candlelight vigil is to be held on 12/11-in the middle of the two-week UN climate talks in Copenhagen-as part of the 350.org association’s effort to shed light on the pressing need to lower the global carbon level from 380 ppm to a survivable 350 ppm. The vigil is set to begin at 6 p.m. on the front steps of the Museum of Art and will proceed around the block. Organizers encourage participants to dress warmly and to bring their own candles.
