What can we do, en masse, that will actually make an impact? I saw a small blip on the news this morning that some young people were marching for climate change across the country. And, it actually looked like a lot of people. But, it really hasn’t been news. They mentioned it and quickly moved on. We know that nothing will come of those marches. They don’t care what we think. They are just going to keep doing what they are doing. So, any ideas? What can we do? It’s very frustrating.
