On my way back to school yesterday, I was thrilled to see people with banners on the overpasses in Massachusetts on I90 calling for talk about climate change! The first one said “Talk About” with waves painted under it, and the second said “Climate Change” and I believe it had trees around it. There were a few cyclists at each spot smiling and standing by the banners. I was excited to see this so close to home and on a route that sees a TON of traffic from people coming or coming from New England for the holiday.

I also saw that in Paris, climate activists were going to have a march calling for strong climate action but were asked not to march because it was deemed unsafe by city officials. So instead of physically marching, they symbolically laid out a pair of shoes for each person who was supposed to participate in order to demonstrate the magnitude of the interested persons.

I look forward to seeing more of this and what will come at the closing of COP21.
