Climate March Aims To Educate People About Choices
The grassroots group Leonia Action Alliance wants to educate people about what they can do in their lives to help limit climate change.
BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — Residents hope to bring attention to the global climate crisis with a special march later on this month.
The Leonia Action Alliance is sponsoring the Leonia Climate March April 29. The grassroots nonprofit wants to highlight what changes and decisions residents can make to limit "the disastrous effects" of climate change.
The alliance was formed out of the Women's March that was held in Leonia earlier this year in the wake of Donald Trump being sworn in as president. The group has more than 100 members.
