FridaysForFuture

What is Fridays For Future?

#FridaysforFuture is a peoples movement following the call from @GretaThunberg to school strike.

Why are kids striking?

School children are required to attend school. But with the worsening Climate Destruction, this goal of going to school begins to be pointless. 
- Why study for a future, which may not be there?
- Why spend a lot of effort to become educated, when our governments are not listened by the educated?

 How / When / Where to strike?

Greta requests that people strike in front of their closest town hall, every Friday. With a sign, take a picture and post it with the hashtags: 
#Fridaysforfuture 
#Climatestrike

Who is Greta Thunberg?

Greta Thunberg is a 16-year-old Swedish climate activist.

In August 2018, Greta Thunberg started a school strike for the climate outside the Swedish Parliament that has since spread all over the world and now involves over 100,000 schoolchildren. The movement is now called Fridays For Future. 

Thunberg has spoken at climate rallies in Stockholm, Helsinki, Brussels and London. In December she attended the United Nations COP24 in Katowice, Poland, where she addressed the Secretary-General and made a plenary speech that went viral and was shared many million times around the globe. In January 2019 she was invited to the World Economic Forum in Davos where her speeches again made a worldwide impact.

Thunberg tries to live a low-carbon life. Therefore she is vegan, and she doesn't fly. She has been named as one of the worlds most influential teens by TIME magazine.
