| This is part of the eighty solid blocks of climate activists who the "Media" didn't see Sunday in New York City. |
Over 675,000 of us marched around the world. It was a beautiful expression of our love for all that climate change threatens, and our hope that we can save this world and build a society powered by 100% safe, clean energy. Click to see more pictures from the day:

How about corporate media? Didn't they just nail it yesterday? All those pictures, videos, stories about the six hundred thousand marchers for climate action - NOT! The only live coverage I say was on Democracy Now (http://www.democracynow.org). Where do you suppose CNN, NBC, Fox, etc. were for this world wide protest against government's failure to address Climate Change? My guess is they were asleep in the bosom to their corporate sponsors, many of whom have a vested interest in climate denial.
Of course, we aren't really expecting for profit corporations to be at the forefront in solving climate change or any other environmental problem. After all, they have had a large role in causing these problems. No, we think that the usual suspects (you and I) are going to have to do the heavy lifting if we want to solve the problem.
Join a group, write to your congressman, get high efficiency light bulbs, walk to work, talk to your friends and family and for christ's sake vote. It is only through the unrelenting pressure of public protest and the right actions of individuals that change will come.
