We can learn from our children

The urgency of the actions taken by young activists such as Greta Thunberg bring into sharp relief the state of the climate crisis we are in. Children are taking a stand and we need to listen. We are taking more from our planet than we need to, and we have reached not just a tipping point but a state of emergency.

The film I’ve linked to here is by my wonderful friend Hugo Guinness. It a timely reminder of why a generation needs to be heard and why we all need to take action to ensure the fears expressed by these young voices do not become a reality. As Greta Thunberg said:

‘Now we all have a choice. We can create transformational action that will safeguard the living conditions for future generations… We children are doing this because we want our hopes and dreams back.’
