Saturday marked the 100th day of Trump's presidency.
Thousands marched from the Capitol to the White House to surround Trump's residence where they sat down for 100 seconds to protest his administrations' environmental policy.
Since taking office, Trump's record on climate change has been less than exemplary. He appointed a climate change sceptic as head of the EPA, who went on to suppress the climate change science site.
