Million of students and adults participated in the Global Climate Strike on September 20, 20, 2019 (Credit: S.Dolasia)

An estimated four million people worldwide took to the streets on Friday, September 20, 2019, for the youth-instigated Global Climate Strike. The young protestors, and their adult supporters, marched along city streets or lobbied outside government buildings to urge leaders to take aggressive action against climate change. Some US companies, such as Ben & Jerry's, Etsy, and The North Face, also joined in the effort by closing their stores to allow employees to participate. Believed to be the largest-ever climate change rally, the September 20 strike will be followed by a similar event on September 27.

          I know, but, sometimes you have to do things you go against. They were using them to tell people a message.

            I think that people should not cause traffic like they did where I live, which causes pollution, do it on the sidewalk. I totally agree with her though.

                  I dunno why, but this literally brought full-on tears to my eyes. I started blubbering and being so enraged all of a sudden.

                    Same. I've been looking for people who don't think this is true and I've been yelling at them. (sorry everyone I have yelled at. I'm telling the truth global warming is real.)
