Here Are Some Of The Best Signs From The People's Climate March
Demonstrators gathered in Washington, D.C., andother cities around the worldon Saturday for the 2017People’s Climate March, a rally to demand political action to fightclimate change.
This year’s marchtakes on increased significance, as it occurs on the 100th day in office of President Donald Trump.Trump has derided climate change as a“hoax” and “bullshit” and vowed to roll back regulations for the fossil fuel industries. He’s also said he wouldpull the United Statesout of theParis Climate Agreement, a global pact to cooperate to cut greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the impact of climate change. His advisers are reportedlystill debatingabout whether the U.S. should pull out.
As people who care about the planet’s future prepared to march on Saturday, many carried funny, creative or just plain beautiful signs to amplify their voices. Here are some of our favorites.
