The People’s Climate March will take place on April 29th in Washington D.C. with sister marches around the globe. This date marks the 100th day of the Trump Administration and one week after Earth Day 2017.
If we learned anything from the Women’s March in January it is that millions of people are embracing and exercising their rights to peaceful protests. Issues that have been bracing our society for quite sometime have suddenly taken on a new sense of urgency with the state of our current political climate, and now’s as ripe a time as ever to march for the protection of our planet.
If you’re choosing to participate, we suggest making sure you do so as sustainably as possible. Do you want to make a creative sign? Try recycling old cardboard, or repurposing other already used materials (maybe your sign from the Women’s March?). Are you living too far from D.C? Galvanize your own community to create a localized People’s Climate March, sparing the resources needed for long travel.
At Net Impact, we are extremely passionate about combating climate change. We support the efforts of people marching peacefully all over the world on April 29th and will continue to pursue efforts to protect our climate for generations to come.
