A small group
from the Goulburn Valley representing Slap Tomorrow and Beneath the
Wisteria were among the 60 000 people who joined the recent People’s
Climate March in Melbourne.
Organizers said that across the globe, 785,000 people in 175
countries hit the streets at more than 2,300 People’s Climate March events.
That’s three quarters of a million people!
“And in Australia, we came together in record breaking
numbers in more than 50 towns and cities right across the country to show the
world just how much we care.
“Thank you for marching, letterboxing, re-tweeting, speaking,
letterboxing, painting and volunteering. You’re the voice!
“We showed our world leaders gathering in Paris, we want a
world our children can thrive in,” they said.
(Considering that
the People’s Climate March was about preserving and protecting the “Goldilocks’-like
conditions” that have allowed humanity to thrive, the near one million people from
the world-community of seven billion, was a paltry number, but hopefully watching
and taking note were some of the world’s influential decision makers and their
response will reflect the dedication and enthusiasm of those who marched.)
