The video below is my live Facebook video of the march. I was only live for about 5 minutes, because that is as long as I can hold a sign and my phone above my head
As I reflect on that march, I can't help but wonder why we still rely on fossil fuels when so many people know in their hearts and minds that we cannot continue to burn dead animal carcasses and expect our planet not to respond. Rest assured that if we do not stop climate change, then mother nature will. When the polar ice caps have melted and all the landmasses are covered by a continuous sea, I imagine that the fish will happily ask us, "who's dumping on whose home now?" This ad from WWF really drives that point home.

I also had no idea that Donald Trump has retained his stock in the Dakota Access Pipeline. No wonder he issued an executive order that will move the Dakota Access and KeystoneXL pipeline projects forward. If he would put his assets in a blind trust, like so many have advised him to do, his motives would not be questioned so often. Poor Jimmy Carter had to put his beloved peanut farm into a blind trust, but Donald Trump can keep all his international businesses and assets running while he is acting president.
On a more hopeful note, I have not given up. The activism that is popping up all over the world is inspiring, and I know that Trump has heard our outcry. A man so narcissistic must be hurt by the unity and determination of people who have spoken out against him. Let's keep it going, so we can make America greater than ever before.
