Climate Change Rally 2014

September is a killer month for teachers:  back to school, back to business, business:  busy, busy, busy.

Add in, I'm a new teacher at a new school....it doesn't matter how many years you have been teaching, when it's all new, it's all CRAZY busy!!

But today, September 21st, needed a post.  It's International Peace Day, and it was the 2014 Climate Change Rally.

It's what's called a "demonstration for the planet."

Ben & Jerry's is a major environmental supporter, as they have been in favor of climate change help for over 8 years.  Here's a good video that sums it up, in a yummy, ice creamy sory of way;

As the pictures of the rally start to surface today, I think these sign-headlines are great:
"There is no Planet B."
"Forestn's Aren't for Sale"
"Jobs, Justice, Clean Energy."

And here's word from my favorite children's author:  Dan Gutman.
Join me at 86th street and Central Park West on Sunday at 11:30am. 
One person won't make much of a difference, but ALL of us can.

But rumor on the street is that 310,000 people were behind it today. 
Way to go people!!
This is where we need to be.
