School strike week 88.
Today we had planned a global climate strike with millions taking part. But in an emergency you have to adapt and change your behaviour.
The climate crisis is still ongoing and we must fight every crisis.

Every day is #EarthDay.
The changes needed to safeguard future living conditions for all species won’t come from governments or businesses.
It will come from the best available science and public opinion.
So it’s up to us.
Spread the science.
