I’m going to be away from the keyboard the first part of today, but the strike for the planet’s climate has begun and is sweeping around the globe.
I know there’s too much going on. What are you doing for the climate?

Today was the biggest climate march Johannesburg has seen!
The #ClimateStrike seems set to be the biggest climate mobilisation the world has seen!
May this be the pivotal moment where people truly take back the power from the fossil fuel industry and rise for climate justice! pic.twitter.com/zDziuxHZ0n

With thousands of participants gathered in Nation square #Paris.
People walked out of their offices and homes to support the #GlobalClimateStrike, ask politicians to listen to scientists and fight for the future.#grevepourleclimat #ClimateStrike #FridaysForFuture @GretaThunberg pic.twitter.com/qwOTpKv0Ye— Rimaille (@Rimaille) September 20, 2019
