Yes, we would have taken part in the student strike against climate change because we know that it was for a very important issue.

It’s a problem which concerns everyone, especially our generation, so it’s people of our age who took part in this strike.

Adults don’t seem to be giving enough importance to this problem, so we should strike in order to make the government realize the seriousness of the problem and to act; it is still possible to save the planet from the catastrophic consequences of global warming if we act very quickly.

Team Werewolf (Manon, Sasha, Louise, Malaurie) writes:

Yes, we would have liked to have taken part in the student strike against climate change because it’s very important for our planet’s future. We are the future generation and we are the first generation to really suffer from global warming. We must react now! We have to open people’s eyes about it and we must make our government act.

Our generation can save the planet because, if we keep on waiting, it will be too late. We want to get old knowing that our children and loved ones will also be able to age safely. We were born on a damaged planet and, at the end of our lives, it will be vital that the state of the planet be better. If we do not act now, the number of wildfires, tsunamis, droughts, earthquakes, etc. will increase and get more deadly.

Everybody must and can do something to save the planet. It is between our hands: we can stop the problem of climate change!

Team Lord (Charlotte, Gabriel, Wallid, Jonathan) writes:

Yes, because without a planet, where is our future?  Earth is our home; it is where we bring up our families.

Since the age of the industrial revolution, the temperature of the Earth has been rising and it continues to do so, causing ice melt, rise in sea levels, environmental destruction, and an increase in (the violence) of natural disasters.

The student strike was a call to action: the situation is serious and urgent and, though there are lots of initiatives and ideas, we risk our own destruction because of the lack of coordinated action by our governments.

Team Guild (Paula, Marjolaine, Laurine, Joris) writes:

Yes, we would have taken part in the student strike against climate change because it's important for our future to make our voices heard. If nobody does anything, there is going to be an extermination of human life on earth in the centuries to come. We only have 12 years to react and change the future of our world. We have to stand up for our planet and protect it. We can save the planet if we react now, and we believe that we can do it and we will do it!
