On the eve of the biggest UN climate conference this decade, hundreds of thousands of people took part in Global Climate Marches all over the world calling for ambitious climate action in line with what science and justice demand.
The marches kicked-off with a 60,000 strong march in my home city of Melbourne, Australia and continued all over the world. Across Australia about 150,000 people turned out at marches in every capital city and in many regional areas.
Not only did Australia turn out for the marches, they also upped their sign making game for the occasion, with many of the best signs coming from here.
Needless to say, this Aussie is pretty proud of how things went this weekend.
You can never go wrong with a good pop-culture reference.

Some people had a go at some clever wordplay

While others just got straight to the point.
Some beer aficionados had their priorities in order.
There is nothing wrong with getting a bit geeky

But a good human sign is where it’s at.
And sometimes you don’t even need words.
Just beautiful.
