#climateaction

We went to a climate change rally this morning! The big one in the Treasury Gardens. It was inspiring to be there with 25,000 others, most dressed in orange, red & yellow. It was great to be part of such a fired up crowd. Some of Rikky's friends found us! We were also messaging some of our friends, but couldn't make the connection.

The speakers were inspiring and to the point. The only disappointment, I thought, was an academic scientist who is also a Christian  - he took the chance to preach the gospel in a traditional, divisive way, which seemed so out of place. I would have loved to hear a more inclusive and open approach, affirming God as Creator, and the need to care for creation, how important beautiful places are for our soul or spirituality. He said some of those things, which was good. I hope it wasn't all negated by the preachy stuff. 

I suppose cycling is relevant in the climate change issue - using the bike when possible should keep the air a bit cleaner!

We're more determined to get solar power & water happening at home.
