Should YOU Be A Climate Activist?
As climate change intensifies, we're seeing more and more climate activists taking to our streets - whether that's from Extinction Rebellion, Fridays for Future, the Sunrise Movement, or many more. The question is, does blocking traffic, throwing soup, and gluing oneself to buildings make any difference? And how activists like these fit in with other climate movements - like boycotting banks, marching, and building community? And will it really take disaster for activism to finally turn the tide on climate change?
