Over the past week many, many brave people have been supporting the @extinctionrebellion in the name of the crisis that is #climatechange. There is no argument on this. After 30 years of campaigning we are running out of time very quickly. It is no coincidence that Sir David Attenborough has spoken about this fact this very week. There is #noplanetb . Whilst causing disruption to major cities such as London protesters have staged peaceful sit-ins on major routes to force the government to listen. What has gone on here is debate and democracy. Today I saw a wonderful speech on the live stream from a woman stating that the reason this kind of protest is happening is because those 30 years of campaigns the ‘polite way’ have failed. If we ignore this we are heading extremely rapidly towards the ‘breakdown of our societies’ as stated by Attenborough . This is terrifying. Change in the way we all live needs to happen NOW.

Extinction Rebellion’s aims are clear: "The Government must tell the truth about the climate and wider ecological emergency, reverse inconsistent policies and work alongside the media to communicate with citizens.
The Government must enact legally binding policy measures to reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2025 and to reduce consumption levels.
A national Citizens' assembly to oversee the changes, as part of creating a democracy fit for purpose."

Don’t like it then do one. No one else is going to save this planet for you. #extinctionrebellion is here every single day to make noise until this change happens.
