National youth strike for climate change

Youth climate change protesters in Lincoln

Young people all over the country have joined together today in a fight to provide awareness about the growing issue of climate change. The protest was organised by a group of young climate activists with support from the Extinction Rebellion Lincolnshire group.

Lincolnshire Extinction Rebellion three demands

The small group of volunteers gathered at the war memorial on Lincoln High Street this morning in a protest for change and aiming for a more sustainable environment.

The event marks a year since the first climate change protest for action was launched by Extinction Rebellion in Lincoln, and the group now aims to host an annual climate change protest until action can be made to protect the climate which is at risk.

Lincoln’s youth strike for the climate crisis received support from members of Extinction Rebellion Lincolnshire as well as Lincoln Green Party.

The group hopes that by hosting events like these they will be able to promote a more sustainable environment as well as putting pressure on Lincolnshire County Council to finally declare the city as carbon neutral.

Lincolnshire, who took part in the protest said: “At the end of the day it is our generation that is going to be dealing with the consequences of climate breakdown, so it is really important for younger generations to start using their voices and to rise up against all the things that are happening at the moment.”
