Moscow government denied us permission to make a rally so we can do only single person protest. But quite a lot of people want to participate and are waiting for their turn in line. That's how we do it in the capital of Russia. #LetRussiaStrikeForClimate

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

Over 4 million on #ClimateStrike today. In 163 countries. And counting...
If you belong to the small number of people who feel threatened by us, then we we have some very bad news for you:
This is just the beginning. Change is coming - like it or not. #FridaysForFuture

On September 20th we are asking the adults to join us. This is their chance to help fix the problem that the older generations have created.

We don't want you to applaud us or to tell us we're going to save the world. We want you to strike with us in September. @GretaThunberg

Injustice and greed created the climate crisis. The only way we can fight back is by fighting for a just and sustainable world that works for all of us. And it’s going to take all of us. #climatestrike Sept 20-27 #StrikeWithUs https://t.co/JvftYkje0K

Interesting article showing the complexity of local vs trade:

I am horrified by reports that about 150 people died in a shipwreck off the coast of Libya.

We need safe, legal routes for migrants and refugees.

Every migrant searching for a better life deserves safety and dignity.

"The real danger is when companies and politicians are making it look like real action is happening when in fact almost nothing is being done apart from clever accounting and creative PR," climate activist @GretaThunberg told the National Assembly in Paris

🛍️ What about reusable bags?

You need to use a reusable bag almost 40 times to break even with plastic or paper bags in terms of environmental costs. Most of them get lost or neglected before that milestone https://t.co/gXRIB3Cw2z

An increase in heat stress resulting from global warming is projected to lead to global productivity losses equivalent to 80 million full-time jobs in the year 2030, equivalent to global economic losses of US$2,400 billion. - @ILO #climatecrisis https://t.co/Dyq1ZtTLT7
