Yesterday I participated in THE WAVE -- the UK's largest Climate Change March ever. There were over 50,000 people there and everyone dressed in blue to create "a wave". The march took place yesterday as a public call to make sure something happens at the Climate Talks in Copenhagen next weekend. People started gathering as early as 9am, and walked through London, ending at Parliament around 3pm. People from all over the country dressed in blue encircled Parliament, calling on the UK government to settle for nothing less than a climate deal in Copenhagen that avoids dangerous climate change and protects the world’s poorest who are already feeling its effects! Not only did Ed Miliband (Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change) hear us, but Gordon Brown invited 24 Wave supporters to 10 Downing Street after the event to hear their demands -- so awesome!
Great photos of excited protestors of all ages to come; I am quite exhausted to tell the truth and prefer to upload them later this week! I have been at a block party in my neighborhood all day, which was adorable! Lots of cute children eating cotton candy, adults drinking mulled wine, families lined up for bbq hamburgers from the local butcher and Christmas carols throughout! A lovely way to end the weekend.
Have a fantastic week.
