In Washington, DC and around the world on Saturday, scientists — and many young science fans — came together for the March for Science.
1. Will, a 10-year-old from Connecticut, told BuzzFeed News he thought Trump's environmental laws are "foul" and "completely awful and totally unfair."
2. And Daisy, a 10-year-old wearing a polar bear sweater and wolf ears, said she was "marching for wolves."
3. Brynn, a 9-year-old from Maine, said she came to the New York march because she "believe[s] in science."
4. And 12-year-old John from Buffalo said he doesn't "think it's right that our president should be turning a blind eye or telling outright lies about what is going to happen in our future."
5. In Washington, DC,11-year-old Luis Fabish told BuzzFeed News he wants to be a mechanical engineer when he grows up, and that he and his dad are building a car from scavenged parts.
6. And they weren't the only kids speaking out. Tons of children protested, many bearing signs with hopes for the future: to end climate change, save animals, and even to become scientists themselves.
