  • On October 10, artists and engineers at All Power Labs, an artist work space in an industrial area of Berkeley, California, built and tested wood-chip-powered gasifiers and biochar makers as part of the Global Work Party sponsored by 350. org to take actions aimed at knocking the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere back down to 350 ppm.
