9/28/14 - One of the largest climate change events in history was held in New York last Sunday, and a Livingston County couple took part. Ron and Margerie Kardos of Oceola Township participated in the Peopleâs Climate March on September 21st in Manhattan. More than 3,000 people from 125 countries took part. Ron Kardos tells WHMI they wanted to bring attention to the issue of climate change ahead of a key summit on that topic by the United Nations. Organizers say the march was the largest climate change demonstration in history. Kardos says he and his wife decided to take part because of the two pipeline projects that cross their property. He hopes better regulations will help keep future projects from having a negative impact on the local environment. Earlier this summer, Kardos helped organize a meeting in Oceola Township to educate residents about the new ET Rover pipeline and what local people can do to help keep it off of their property. Events around the world were held to coincide with the Peopleâs Climate March. (TD)
