On September 21, 2014 The People's Climate March is expected to be the largest demonstration for climate action in history!!!!!!!! The People's Climate March

World leaders are coming to New York City for a United Nations summit on the climate crisis. The sole purpose of the March is to demand bold and political action to address the climate crisis that coincides with the UN Climate summit.

There are is also an Facebook from called Indigenous Peoples at the People's Climate March which is hosted by the The International Indian Treaty Council (IITC)serves as a Organizing Partner for the People's Climate March.

                                                                              For those who are not to informed on what is taking place in our world as far as climate change is concerned--allow Bflybiz to give you some insight on what is happening. Perhaps you too will become heavily involved in the this The People's Climate March--be it spreading the word and/or participating.

Whether we believe it or not, global warming is happening now. Temperatures are increasing. Sea levels have increased roughly 8 inches over the century and rising faster than scientific predictions. Sea ice is melting--as a matter of fact declining sea ice is one of the most visible ways to identify global warming on our planet. Since 1979 sea ice has declined by over 30% according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center. Oceans are acidifying--the ocean has absorbed a large fraction of the carbon dioxide fossil fuel burning has pumped into the atmosphere, slowing the rate of global warming. The voices in the march will be heard by the world leaders in the attending the UN Climate Summit. If you feel strongly about global warming, get involved!

It's important we as all genders/races/nations come together to make a change. This March allows those voices to be heard, it allows people to come together. Join the Movement! Below are several related links!

IDLE NO MORE
is an indigenous movement to raise awareness on indigenous issues by gaining attention through rallies and social media. What sparked this movement was Theresa Spence, the chief of the Attawapiskat First Nation in northern Ontario, who ended a six-week hunger strike on 01/24 The goal of Spence’s protest was to gain a meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Governor-General David Johnston to discuss how to improve the conditions on native reserves. Through facebook, twitter, instagram and other platforms of social media almost every indigenous community in the nation has been involved in this movement. I was able to participate in this movement in New York City early January! The average “American” is clueless as to what Natives endure today let alone even know we still exist. The more awareness we can spread on indigenous issues the more we can continue to sustain our culture for the betterment of our future!!!!!!!!
