As people of all ages, backgrounds and origins have joined together as the Extinction Rebellion in London as a “wake-up call” to the UK and Parliament, it is clear that climate breakdown and ecological collapse threaten our existence. Therefore, this is a good time to reflect on what we are doing. In addition, we should consider how our actions are disabling the climate for future generations.

As part of the Extinction Rebellion, and unable to protest inLondon myself, I have actively followed and supported those in protest.

Yesterday, I watched Greta Thunberg address the European Parliament committee on environment. She spoke with genuine fear for the planet and her future and the future of all today’s children.

This morning, I watched the live-stream of a group of under 17s (XR Youth) holding a banner reading “ARE WE THE LAST GENERATION?” on the pavement outside Heathrow. In addition, there was a heavy police presence which stopped the children standing on the road.
