I am quite inspired by this - the young know what matters but our generation has failed lamentably.

All power to these kids and fair play to them for standing up for something that they believe in. Hopefully it will encourage them that they can effect change, and make them politically/cause-minded as they grow up. My generation, or certainly me and my mates, were too interested in getting wasted during our childhood and youth and I don't really feel like a vote counts for much or that enough of my like can be mobilised to make a difference, probably because I was never involved in or encouraged to act in the way these kids are. When these kids grow up and hold influential leadership positions maybe some real change with regards to climate issues will happen. They are the natives of this movement whereas to most older generations have had to deal with it being a new and questionable (to some) concept.

I bet they all got their today in Mummy's carbon burning car, wear clothes and eat food shipped at great ecological expense from all over the world, etc etc etc. We all have a duty to combat climate change and it starts with our own choices.

Having worked in schools watching staff push their political beliefs and influence the young is astounding. Watching schools do their own mock elections around election times is hilarious as they fix the results to suit their own sensibilities.

Yep...Parents should be aware of what goes on in subjects like the humanities. Some teachers are beyond reproach but it also can be extremely unprofessional.

Sounds like you want to punish kids for wanting the world to be a better place! Might be how you are wording it! :-)

As these young people are so concerned about saving the planet and its resources I thought I would help them with my suggestions.

- Teenagers who forget to turn the lights off or unplug their chargers should have then pocket money deducted.
- Screen time on mobiles and video gaming should be restricted to 30 mins per day.
- Fast food and fizzy drinks to be banned its unhealthy for the environment and the customer.
- All schools to introduce compulsory PE especially cross country running and cold showers of course to save on the heating.
- Children to be used to sweep chimneys so that coal fires are more efficient.
- The school day to be extended to 12 hours including Saturday its more energy efficient to group people together.
- Hollywood blockbuster movies, cinemas and popcorn to be banned as incredibly energy inefficient.
- Vegan diet to be introduced with compulsory Brussels sprouts and cauliflower.

Sounds like you want to punish kids for wanting the world to be a better place! Might be how you are wording it! :-)

Think the kids have done a great job here. Hopefully the adults might start to copy their good example. If adults show they are as concerned as the kids are it might get the politicians to do something about the problems. Whether you believe in climate change or not we all have a duty to take care of the planet as best we can and we should be ensuring our politicians do what they can to ensure the next generation have a flourishing planet with clean air to breathe and to live in.
