A Borrowed World DSC_0869
We are “borrowing the world from our children” and we are not playing nice. We may be the first generation in history to leave our world worse off for our children.
At a time where I sometimes feel overwhelmed by the troubles around the world, speechless and heartbroken at the things we do to each other and our planet, yesterdays Strike for Climate Change gave me hope. The march belonged to the children, the students who came out in the tens of thousands, holding signs and chanting for change. For many, including my daughter (not pictured), it will have been a first. Hopefully, not the last.
They were joined by us old folk, who came along to support them and their dream for a better future - a war cry for action.
I fear they will not be heard yet but maybe when politicians realise that the children are only a few years off voting, they might be compelled to take action, albeit kicking and screaming.
Keep chanting for change young people. One day you will be heard. I am proud.
