I attended the march on Saturday, and my view from my soaking wet feet was of a wonderful selection of humanity protesting the lack of action on climate change. The march went from Kelvingrove Park to Glasgow Green, more than two miles that took more than two hours to traverse. The crowd was enormous, despite off and on rain and wind and gloomy skies. I was proud to be a tiny part of march that for which many people obviously invested a great deal of time and thought into. Imagine that many people protecting in a city of hardly more than 500,000 people on a chilly, windy, wet November Day.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 16px;\">\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/videopress.com\/v\/syssun0f\" class=\"img-fluid\" style=\"display: block; height: 640px; width: 100%;\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18452 alignright img-fluid\" src=\"https:\/\/esa.org\/esablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/90\/2021\/11\/img_1988-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\">The signs were diverse, witty, forceful, angry, and more. A child carried a sign that read, \u201cSorry I didn\u2019t tidy my room, I\u2019ve been busy saving the planet.\u201d There were many indigenous groups, groups from less development countries, educational institutions, spiritual communities, and much more. I was happy to be joined by my AirBnB host, Linsay, and her mother, Eileen, at Glasgow Green. Thanks to everyone for showing up. The best way I can communicate what it was like is post below some photos and videos.
