Flathead climate strikers rally daily at
Depot Park through 27 September.

At the rush hour on 20 September, approximately 135 Flathead residents conducted an anti-fracking, pro-snow, honk-n-wave at Kalispell’s Depot Park to warn of the adverse environmental consequences of global warming. It was one of thousands of rallies around the state, nation, and world, that together comprised the youth based Climate Strike identified that many associate with the 16-year-old Swedish activist, Greta Thunberg.

An objective that will be difficult to achieve. Market forces may retire the technique before legislation does.

The Kalispell action that began Friday concludes on 27 September. Everyone is welcome. The festivities commence at 1700.

Sponsoring the honk-n-waves are 350Glacier, the Climate Reality Project, the Flathead Democrats, and the Flathead County Democratic Women.

Below, a few more photographs from Saturday’s honk-n-wave.

T-shirts, sandals, and pleas for weather cool enough to produce that powdery white stuff upon which skis glide.

Kalispell Climate Reality Project leader Ross Frazier amplified the strikers' objectives, but I doubt anyone in an automobile heard him over the noise of the traffic.
