Please save our planet

In advance of the Copenhagen Summit our family made the trip into London for The Wave. We went to our first march 3 years ago which ended with 15,000+ people in Trafalgar Square listening to KT Tunstall. In the last two years we had been a bit disappointed to see a smaller number of marchers. Well this year was different… the official estimates ranged been from 20,000 up to 50,000 and given the fact that it took us an hour to get out of Grosvenor Square, it was much closer to 50,000. We were really impressed and greatly encouraged by the number of children and the age range of this years marchers. We met 9 month old babies and 90 year old grandparents as well as Harvey the Climate Change dog.

There is still a long way to go for all of us who are interested in the sustainability of the planet and the human race but the signs of The Wave were encouraging. Let’s hope the politicians, media and the unengaged get the message.
