Many people from the Oakland/East Bay traveled to Copenhagen including Laney College’s Green Jobs Program Coordinator, Emily Courtney, who travelled to observe the proceedings and atmosphere.

“It was amazing just how many dedicated people there were,” described Emily. “I met people on the bus ride to the conference center. You wait in the registration line and meet somebody else. Then you met the person you sat next to, and another person a lunch, and another new person on bus ride out. And it was like that everyday.”

Students, Faculty and Staff added their faces to show Laney's support for the 350ppm CO2 goal.

On Wednesday, October 21, 65 people at Laney held one of 5200 events in 181 countries for the most widespread day of environmental action in the planet’s history. Students, faculty and staff from Peralta celebrated 350 Day, an international day of grassroots action to show international decision-makers that people in every locale in the planet agree with lowering the human impact on Climate Change.
