On Friday, Benja (13) participated in a climate march. It included a walk out of school, a walk to East High School, then a walk to the capital. I became concerned about the amount of walking AND the need for him to carry two bags--his diabetes bag and his lunch bag. I suggested he bring his lunch in a plastic bag, so he could then put the bag inside his other bag. Benja sighed and said, "MOM! That is EXACTLY what we are marching against!" His emotional response made me feel like he would in fact be sent the front and booed by his fellow protesters, for my even suggesting it. I mean he has a point.
