People at more than 600 venues across the U.S. and around the world came together on beaches, near waterways, and even at solidarity events in land-locked towns. They joined hands and called for an end to offshore drilling. This protest was formed last year in Florida, in the wake of the BP oil spill tragedy in the Gulf, and will now likely be an annual peaceful protest.
In the shadow of the St. Louis Arch, committed citizens lined up on the sidewalk bordering the Mississippi River. It's true that actions speak louder than words and, through the quiet activism of a human chain, people in St. Louis sent their ecological message -- "Protect our waters, say no to fossil fuels and yes to clean energy."
