We’re Missing Our Lessons, So We Can Teach You One!

Recently people all over the world have begun to stand up to climate change and try to fight back. Except the leaders of these marches, the ones in the very front, are in fact the ones who should be in school: Kids! Children have united from around the world to fight for a cause that is affecting their future. Whether they were excused or punished, students from all around the world skipped school to participate in local climate change strikes near them. 

    One of the main leaders of this movement is the 16 year old activist Greta Thunberg. According to CNN, in New York she addressed the masses of the issues students are trying to combat: “Some people say we should study to become climate scientists or politicians, so that we can, in the future, solve the climate crisis. But by then, it will be too late. We need to do this now”(CNN). Click Here to View the Article

    This girl and thousands of others have inspired many to take a stand. The climate strikes had massive turnouts and thousands showing their support. As time goes by and you consider how you can help, just look to these activists and leaders who will gladly lead by example. 

    I hope to leave you with questions of: How can you help reduce climate change? How far should you be willing to go in order to support this cause? Honestly, how did we let it get this bad? But most of all, how can we protect our futures because there is no planet B!
