Geneva Climate March 2015: Let's act now!

I believe we should take care of our beautiful planet as much as she has been taking care of the human race over millenia. Like a mother, she provides at any time without complaining or asking for anything in return; and as respectful children, we should voluntarily and gladly give back and protect the one and only place that is home.
This is why I decided to march once more and document this action and the people participating. It is my duty to let others know and encourage the nay-sayers to follow us for the good of each and everyone. It is certainly a rather long photo-essay, but exhibiting the dedication of associations, families and friends of the Earth should not be quantified, only saluted and celebrated.
However, I have decided to define 4 blocks to bring more clarity to the event and narrate it as it is due.
We need all the support available and this is my love song to this incredible blue planet we call home.
Here is the first block of photos I would title "Introduction to the marching groups and their revendications"
First stop: Let's change the system, not the climate, because we love our planet.
Earth is heating up, let's not remain cold to it. It is a wonderful pun in French, quite different in English...
"Because we love our planet" this sign says, and those men certainly love their Mother!
Now onto the various groups present at the event, with some funny surprises... For once, women did not have to take their clothes off.
"Solidarity with the trees, the clouds, the water and the seasons"
"What about the world's soul for f..k's sake?"
"From ego to eco"
True, we have only one world and one Earth.
 Here comes the nudity (for a good cause!) in winter! Funny at such a rally, less so when it risks becoming our sad reality if we do not act now.
We are all in it together
 
Peace and love through the arts.
Let's not give free rein to the big corporations and enable them to destroy the future of the next generations.
Will we leave our children nothing else than an unhospitable world? 
100% clean!
The march starts
We can find billions to save the banks (or go to war) but not to save the climate
"There is no planet B". A slogan I had seen in London last year during the People's Climate March.
On a funny note: the paparrazi
The succession!
A sort of "1984" reference: climate police
A great joke on the part of some activists/organisers
And the march goes on and grows
Marching for life
And for our children
Marching also for the animals
Let's sing for the Earth
