16 year old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg started a worldwide youth movement last August when she skipped school to protest in front of the Swedish parliament about the world’s lack of progress in dealing with climate change. By March this year, her Friday for the Future movement had turned into a worldwide movement of youth in over 100 countries who protest their governments for action to stop climate change. Protesters in Spain carried banners that said No Hay un Planeta B (there is no planet B). This is the only place that we will ever have to live, but many of us act as though we can continue as we have before without consequences. The poor choices of past generations and many current governments have turned this into a crisis. I’m proud of today’s youth for taking this seriously and taking action.
