The Climate March or People’s Climate March of April 29, 2017, did not only occur in Washington D.C., but all over the USA. Here in Central Florida, Climate March Orlando began at 5185 North Ln., Orlando, FL, from 1:00-3:00 pm (Speakers of the Marach spoke) and continued at Rosemont Community Center, 4872 Rosebay Drive, Orlando, FL from 3:00-6:00 pm. Speakers of the March were:
-
- Andre Robinson, Organize Florida Pine Hills Committee
- Robert Williams, Organize Florida Racial Justice Committee
- Tasnim Mellouli, Organize Florida Climate Justice Committee
- Guerdy Remy, Organize Florida Reproductive Justice Committee
- Jeannie Economos, Farmworker Association Florida
- Clint Cuyler, Fight for 15
- Elliana Dix, Central Florida Jobs with Justice
- Rosa Flores, Student Power Network
- These people are marching for actions and attention to address the issue of Climate Change. With the recent report on the amount of carbon in earth’s atmosphere reaching a new high of 410 ppm and global warming, I believe they are looking for going 100% solar and/or renewable, policies that would discourage fossil fuel and encourage solar and renewable energy, sustainable agricultural practices, and educating youth about sustainable living practices. Below, are videos of some of the speakers: Andre Robinson, Jeannie Economos, and Rosa Flores:

After facing the year 2016: as the warmest in recorded history, the amount of carbon in earth’s atmosphere has reached a new high of 410 ppm, President Trump threatened to pull USA out of the Paris climate agreement, dismantling Obama’s Climate legacy, reviving Keystone XL Pipeline, putting climate change deniers in charge of several key agencies (including EPA), and proposing dramatically decreasing EPA budget, etc. People all over the country are taking a stand and in demanding of 100% of the solar and renewable energy ! The technology has already arrived. Solar costs less than conventional fossil fuels now. The efficiency of solar panels have also been increasing and battery technology has been making great strides. It is time for us to transition 100% into Solar and Renewable Energy! We cannot afford not to go Solar, Wind, and various other Renewables! Please view these videos below, especially the one in the end, “Six degrees could change the world.”
