In the morning a peaceful mob raised banners at the town hall. The mayor began by giving a respectful nod and hearing them out. They declared, 'nor will the government ruin our river.' The crowd shouted, 'We will not stay silent!' Garden-grown nut snacks were shared on the field. Some signs warned, 'Keep watch during the odd hours too.' Police cordoned off one lane of the road. At the countdown everyone cried 'one voice' with raised hands. After the rally they vowed to opt for greener policies. Jonaki said, 'our strength is solidarity.' Students vowed, 'We won't walk out without a solution.' Company delegates admitted they still owe compensation. Reporters hurriedly pulled out their pad notebooks. Homemakers gave each other a reassuring pat on the shoulder. An elected representative promised better per capita environmental support. Farmers shared stories from their pig operations to save the fields. Kids from the third group handed out pin badges to gather signatures. A music truck suddenly blasted a pop anthem. A volunteer lawyer announced a wave of pro bono services. Finally everyone put gathered plastics into the recycling bins.
