climate change

on saturday 4th november my lovely school friend Cam and sister Tri and I joined 25,000 people marching against climate change through the sunny streets of London... Britain's largest environmental protest! (i have to admit we all enjoyed the effects of global warming when the crowd was moving slowly :)

i do wonder if these marches make any difference? if the anti-war march is anything to go by then they don't. but hey, lets not give up trying... and raising awareness along the way.

some of the pictures are worth clicking on to see a bit bigger. the one where i am holding a placard - it is not my placard. i don't know who the guy in the middle is but it is his.

I'm sure you helped raise the issue in people's minds. I have bought a shopping trolley, and now shop locally (mostly), and on foot. I must save about a thimbleful of carbon from my exhaust emissions, but I enjoy feeling I'm saving the planet.
