Peoples Climate Change March - Today! Forecast: 90 degrees in D.C.

Here we are, in front of the capitol.  No, it's not D.C.  It's home, in Wisconsin at the Women's March.  But, speaking of home, Monona e-mailed me today from D.C.  where she is staying, before leaving for the Peoples Climate Change March - today!  
She said a lady in the hotel lobby commented that she didn't know how she would manage "because it's going to get so hot today."  When Monona asked her if she was going to the March, the woman said, "No, I'm just a tourist."  That, Monona said, got her wondering:  "Have we been treating Earth like we are tourists here?  Isn't this our home?"
Seems to me that an over-heated Earth could be bad, not only for polar bears, but for tourism too.

Women's March Flashback; Marching to D.C.!

Hi Everybody~  News flashback:
Here's me 'n' Tony.  At Madison's Women's March, he rescued us from THIRST when we had already marched down Langdon Street and back up again to Wisconsin Avenue, where Kennedy Manor is and where our buddy Liz lives.  Tony let us in the building, brought us a bottle of chilled water, a couple of his fresh-baked chocolate-chip cookies and helped us get into the elevator.  Could a Polar Bear ask for more?

And, to bring us right up to date, here's a couple of friends we also are very grateful for.  Linda and Brenda hosted Monona in Plymouth, (mentioned in her post card in an earlier post) as Monona made her way to Washington D.C. to represent us for the Peoples Climate Change March.
Wish I could'a been there at Plymouth's East Bay Grille to enjoy that Arctic Char!

Hello Everyone~
Last time we marched it was for the Women's March in Madison.  Then March came and went.  And in April it was the Madison March for Earth Day, for Science and marching right up to the doors of the power plant to create awareness of global warming.
  
A whole lotta marchin' goin' on!  Next up:  the People's Climate Change March in Washington, D.C.  My friend and champion, Monona Wonders, will be representing us there.  After all, isn't that what people in our nation's capital are supposed to do?  
Represent us?
Truly yours, Polar Bear Witness
P.S. Here's some of what Monona had to say:
