A lot happened yesterday that we could talk about, but this being Treehugger, we'll go for Bernie's knitted mittens. As Katherine notes, "They are so incongruously ordinary, the kind of mittens anyone would want for shoveling a snowy driveway, doing the school run in midwinter, or hauling recycling to the curb, that they stood out amid the sea of dark formal wear that the rest of the audience was wearing." Oh, there was lots of talk about climate change and fixing the planet, but mittens! |
