This past weekend I got to partake in an incredible event in Washington DC. The Forward on Climate Change rally, in protest of the Keystone Pipeline, brought over 40 thousand people to the nation's capital. There were many incredible speakers that spoke on the environment and the impact of the pipelines on the humans, animals and ecosystems around them.
I found it so moving too see all these people, both young and old, come together to help preserve our planet for future generations. I think that there is hope for our planet. I think that people want to change our behaviors to protect what surrounds us. The crowd cheered when the speakers who ranged from Indians, to investors, talked about changing for the future.
After the talks, all 40 thousand of us held our signs high and marched from the Washington Monument to the White House and back hoping to leave a lasting impact on the President (who was unfortunately golfing that day) and the nation, and I think that is just what we did.
