This past Saturday my friend James and I went to an International Demonstration on Climate Change held at the Covent Garden Market in downtown London Ontario. The day, Dec 8, was called the largest day of climate protest in the world, taking place in 70 countries and more than 30 cities in Canada alone.
They had information displays, an area to sign online petitions, sales of bumper stickers and patches that promote biking and eco-friendliness. THey also had a place set up to call Steven Harper and leave a message about how climate change is important. I missed it, but they also had a rally outside in the afternoon with supposedly a few hundred people!
Waste Free World used the event to show off their 'BYO' campaign at the market, promoting a Bring Your Own (plates, mugs, cutlery) to eliminate waste at the market.
One of my favourite parts was the booth with the stickers and swag. They had some great ideas there. Here is one:
