Extinction Rebellion (XR)
Friday afternoon in St. Peter’s Square Manchester.
For the past couple of months the school children and students of Manchester and the surrounding area have been going on strike on Fridays and turning up in St. Peter’s Square; not sure if it is every Friday. The reason for this action is to demonstrate against Climate Change; their argument is that the planet (their future) is being destroyed by the actions of big corporations; and something needs to be done today, not tomorrow.
The point of the students lying on the ground is to represent they have no future, the planet is dead. The boxes represent the planet virtually covered in water caused by rising sea levels as the planet warms up due to climate change.
It’s time someone started to take notice of these youngsters; after all, the planet is their future. I personally admire and respect what they are doing but will anyone listen; I hope so. They need a future to look forward to and so do my grandchildren.
