“You are destroying our future” Students Around The World Including Montreal Drop School To Combat Climate Change (Videos – Photos)

“You are destroying our future”: Around the world tens of thousands of young people have dropped school Friday to ask their leaders to really act against climate disruption.

In Quebec, about 140,000 students will be on strike Friday to call for effective action to combat climate change.

The global movement started last year when Swedish teen Greta Thunberg,, who has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, began a solo protest outside her country’s Parliament every Friday, by holding up handmade signs calling for action on climate change.

According to http://350.org  we have already passed way over one million students on school strike today.
Over 2000 places in 125 countries on all continents.
And we have only just started!

Following last month’s massive youth walkouts in Europe, the March 15 Youth Climate Strike will now bring the school-based environmental action stateside.

The students’ demands include a Green New Deal that will prioritize communities most impacted by climate change, a 100 percent renewable energy target by 2030, and comprehensive education on the impacts of climate change.
