The bells were ringing...

Gayle Burgess throws herself into
the bell ringing at Trinity.

Anyone in the village of Colborne on Sunday afternoon will have heard the bells of Colborne United Church and Trinity Anglican Church as they rang out 350 times.

The purpose was to draw attention to global warming warnings and the talks currently going on in Copenhagen.

It is recognised by many scientists that 350 parts per million of carbon dioxide is the safe upper limit in the atmosphere. Up until 200 years ago the number was 275 parts per million. The current level is 390 parts per million.

Rev. Anja Guignion and Harold Harnden share the load at Colborne United.
