School Strike 4 Climate - Mae And Indy - With Annie From Stop Adani - 2019-03-08 BTL

The School Strike 4 Climate is an international movement run by school students. Today we have Maeve and Indy, who are part of the Canberra contingent, to have a yarn about what is going on, and why. Inspired by the bold, lone strike action of Greta Thunberg on the steps of parliament in Sweden, the idea has spread to all continents. Find the strike map here: https://www.fridaysforfuture.org/events/map Many groups are going out every Friday, with periodic global events, such as the one on March 15th, 2019 discussed here. Australia is still bent on developing massive fossil fuel sources, which should definitely be left in the ground, such as the Adani mine opening up the way for many coal projects planned for the Galilee Basin https://www.stopadani.com/ and the new front rapidly opening in the Canning Basin in the Kimberly, Western Australia. https://www.environskimberley.org.au/fracking http://www.frackfreekimberley.org.au/ Hopefully our intrepid leaders will take this strong hint from our kids, and prioritse our actual means for life over our imaginary need for incessant growth of money. Music for today is from the Earth Guardians, a group of kids who have been on this path for over a decade now, and Xiuhtezcatl, who is also heavily involved with Earth Guardians. Please support them by buying their albums, and check out these links: https://xiuhtezcatl.com/ https://www.earthguardians.org/ and the absolute classic "Live as if our Future Matters" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANrxvmHUuV0 This interview (not the music) is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International License.
