DESCRIPTION:Event details: https://xrboston.org/action/march-postering-mad
 ness-downtown/\n\nJoin us for our March Postering Madness Campaign\, which
  will raise awareness of the ongoing extinction of various animal species.
  We have created simple letter-sized [posters](https://drive.google.com/fo
 lderview?id=1gH_UnuUdfWkhhSkZ-MBWu4CSuF6CcbpB)  that you can print at home
  and hang in your neighborhood. The posters aim to imitate simple posters 
 that you would hang up if your pet bird flew away or your cat escaped. Ins
 tead\, we mourn wild animals that are going extinct or getting displaced. 
  \n\nThis “March Postering Madness”  event will be in downtown Boston.
  We will meet as a group and put up posters in the downtown Boston  area. 
 Please let us know if you would like to organize other postering outings w
 ith your affinity group or just with friends. Feel free to use this event 
 description as a template. (Email: outreach.xrboston at gmail.com)\n\n*Sig

 r the meet up.*\n\n**Some Background on the 6th Mass Extinction**\n\nThe r
 eport by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was publishe
 d on February 28. The United Nations report is written by 270 researchers 
 from 67 countries. The report lays out the devastating effects of the clim
 ate catastrophe on humanity and all life on Earth. \n\nGlobal temperatures
  have already increased by an average of 1.1 degrees Celsius (or 2 degrees
  Fahrenheit). Additional increase of temperature is already locked in due 
 to lagged effects. Beyond 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming\, scientists pred
 ict a high likelihood of an irreversible spiral of catastrophic climate im
 pacts. \n\nThe report made clear that the climate crisis is harming the pl
 anet faster than we can adapt. In fact\, the sixth mass extinction is alre
 ady happening right now. One-third of all plant and animal species could b
 e extinct by 2070\, which in turn has effects on respective ecosystems. Th
 e IPCC report also points out increased pressure on food production and ac
 cess which is putting millions worldwide at increased risk of hunger and m
 alnutrition.\n\nLearn more details in this [youtube video](https://youtu.b
