Atmospheric CO2 Atmospheric CO2 Atmospheric CO2 Atmospheric CO2

PPM means "parts per million" or parts per million by volume (ppmv).  It's the unit scientists use to measure the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Another meaning is "people powered movement."  This alternate meaning comes from Bill McKibben, co-founder of 350.org.  By this, McKibben is talking about the movement that is working to build an economy that is properous without planet-heating carbon emissions.   

For the site or blog you run, the PPM CO2 widget updates every month to show the current level of CO2 in the atmosphere to the people who are engaged in your world.  Showing the CO2 levels with a website widget is a small action that helps to correct a major global problem of keeping CO2 levels out of sight for the general public.  As long as it's out of sight, it's out of mind and lacking the attention and reminders that helps start and sustain the decarbonizing actions that are good for the economy, society and the biosphere.
