Then is protesting the only solution? Or should everyone just wait till humans are at the edge of extinction and then start making a change when it's too late? At least she's encouraging the change we need to have in this world. We may not be able to change the entire world but we can at least get it into people's heads that we NEED to start making a change NOW. Just because this generation doesn't care and are too lazy doesn't mean we shouldn't encourage this more, it's a very serious issue and it's terrifying to think about the effects and that some people truly don't believe in climate change.

it seems like you’re complaining, which you should. you expect a change, but you should now this thread wouldn’t do a fk. and if I didn’t think that, would you think you had to inform us like we’re some dmbfks? we know.

See I don't like protests like these for two reasons:
1. Most of them spew facts but rarely are able to back them up with statistics or locations. I don't think we're oblivious; I think it's because protesters always use vague sentences like "animals are dying out there!" Out there where? Which animals? What are the statistics? We can't help them if we don't know which animals, or where they are. Also, a lot of them tend to leave out the fact that some places already have organizations trying to help, and make it out to seem like nobody's doing anything. Oh yeah, and most protestors say to "donate" but never to where. Like?? I don't have infinite money, nor time to do a lot of research, at least direct me somewhere where my money will be used best like trees or animals, then I'll research some organization. If you tell me some programs, even better. Just telling me to "donate" without any indication to where isn't very helpful.

2. Almost none of them tell you how to help, and half of them aren't even actually helping (not speaking about you but I know some people who don't practice what they preach). They'll tell you you've gotta change but they won't tell you how. If they do, a lot of their solutions aren't exactly good: Yes, I could ride a bike to school, but that would make my 20 minute drive into an hour long exercise program which I'll have to do before and after school, which will make me more tired and cause my performance to start falling. Yes, I could pick up litter off beaches but I don't live by one and I don't have time to take 2-3 hours every weekend to drive out to one. (I don't include streets because my country has cleaners that clean streets and walkways so it's rare to see much trash) Yes, I could stop using toilet paper but then what do I use? Water? Then you'll tell me I'm wasting water. There's no end to it. At least give me better solutions like use metal straws or buy cans instead of plastic bottles and recycle them. Use your own tote bags when shopping. And stop spoiling your kids with endless amounts of ducking toys because I can guarantee you they'll only play with them once or twice (source: myself when I was younger). (I know the last one doesn't apply to us but if I didn't waste hundreds of dollars on plastic toys I wouldn't have such a big carbon footprint and I regret it now lol)

to most of the people above ^^ you won't miraculously save the Earth in one day because, oh my, ex. you didn't use a straw one day! it takes time and habits.

no one is telling you to yeet yourself into the ocean and erradicate the floating trash islands or chaining yourself to a tree or picking up all of the beach's trash in one go,

start with small things:
1. take your reusable bags when grocery shopping.
2. use metal straws instead of the plastic ones (they may be expensive, but they are worth the uses).
3. stop using ziploc bags, buy some tupperware to transport your cute little fruits and cookies.
4. get a reusable watter bottle and refill instead of consuming plastic ones.
5. if it is not necessary, stop asking for bags in stores.
6. rEcYcLeEEEeeeE and recycle correctly.

those are small things that will slowly steer us towards saving our home, and it is super duper important that youth understands it. that we understand it.

we are the future, if we have one, and if anyone can stop this- it's us, so shut those ignorant a** beaks and sit the fvxk down.

i don't know about how the weather is up there, but here in Panama the weather has gotten way too hot and humid- more than usual- and we are supposed to be entering the rainy season right now.
