These young women might just save the planet
In this article it states, Valentine’s Day marked the one-year anniversary of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre in Parkland, Florida. The students of this high school had organized a nationwide school walkout on March 14, 2018. Since then, the March for Our Lives drew over a million people from different cities and towns to rally for safer school and gun control.
A young girl from Sweden named Greta Thunberg observed the action of the Parkland students and decided to take action of her own. She would skip school every Friday in order to encourage the Swedish government into action for climate change. She is trying to get the Swedish government to see that they’re problems that need immediate solutions.
Greta Thunberg tried to create change by beginning her own solo protest. Since then, it is estimated that over 70,000 students around Europe and the world have joined her in her protest each week, in over 270 cities and towns. Strikes have been organized all over Europe and have been led by teenage girls.
Some ways that I could change in regards to my chosen global issue are to research more about the issue and collect all my information, then create flyers or social media posts about my global issue. Also, try to have friends and family help me out with creating a peaceful rally.
