Youths Demand Their Future
“We refuse to bequeath a dying planet to future generations by failing to act now,” a climate activist said. This call to arms inspired thousands all over the globe to join Extinction Rebellion, a brand of civil disobedience to protest the lack of action on climate change. The group’s message is clear and simple: if you do not want the future generation to suffer, act now.

The Extinction Rebellion festival is held in South London where people of all ages can participate. “Well, what could we do to make our air clean again?” climate activist Alfie Castel-O’Leary asks. Meanwhile, another climate activist Thierry Spall demands to ban the use of non-ecofriendly advertisements. A festival participant also suggests stopping the use of fossil fuels.

Young activists nowadays are more connected and more aware of climate change’s risks. Climate activist Greta Thunberg inspired the youth to have a say in the future; about how climate change can potentially destroy it. Iris Jones touched on the issue that children are now growing up with pollution. The youth, despite gargantuan tasks ahead, is determined to succeed where previous generations failed.
