So simple - pack a bag with some snacks and water, grab the kids, join the march, have fun walking down the middle of the road in a big city with people waving and singing. Have a bit of time to explain some slightly serious things to the kids along the way. Head home having had a fun day. Imagine what impact and policy change would occur I everyone did that rather than just 500,000? Not much effort for whats at stake and warmer than the ice bucket challenge!! Delegates said the noise created by the weekend marches and a protest on Monday in Wall Street had helped. Dr Rajendra Pachauri, the chairman of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), said he was optimistic that this “heightened awareness” would lead to crucial action to avoid the most devastating impacts of global warming. Of the more than 2,700 climate-change marches in 161 countries over the weekend he said: “I see a clearly heightened awareness of climate change and what that means for people’s livelihoods around the world. “The marches were quite unprecedented, as is this high-level summit. It could very well be a turning point. I’m optimistic that from now onwards we will see global society moving towards a solution,” he told The Independent.
