PRT Hucksters Infiltrate 350 Movement

The mission of 350.org:

350.org is an international campaign that's building a movement to unite the world around solutions to the climate crisis--the solutions that science and justice demand.

Our mission is to inspire the world to rise to the challenge of the climate crisis—to create a new sense of urgency and of possibility for our planet.


On another 350.org page:

The Advanced Transit Association group in northern Califonia (ATRA-NorCal) is sponsoring this event as an opportunity to stand up for a U. S. implementation of Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) which promises an efficient, demand-responsive public transit network with automated non-stop service available 24 hours a day. PRT systems are as easy to use as an elevator, and cost a fraction of Light Rail construction. The event will be used to highlight PRT advances and the upcoming Podcar Conference in San Jose(10/27-29). The event will be held at the park adjacent to the proposed PRT crossing of the railroad tracks in Milpitas (Parc Metro East). For details of the proposal, see http://www.electric-bikes.com/prt/ferry.html

And each JPOD comes with its own "Support the Troops" ribbon:
