How Young People Are Fighting Climate Change in the Biden Era by Megan Whisnand https://padlet.com/mwhisnan/ufwhyg892aez5syq Made with eyes on the prize en-us 2021-05-17 16:52:06 UTC 2021-05-17 18:58:55 UTC hello@padlet.com Young people are organizing tactics to combat climate change and demand change and action towards empty promises to cut out greenhouse gas emissions. Though quarantine has made it difficult to protest in person, meetings are still in the works via zoom. Some believe Fridays for future have not made enough of a global impact https://padlet.com/mwhisnan/ufwhyg892aez5syq/wish/1532550307 2021-05-17 18:06:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mwhisnan/ufwhyg892aez5syq/wish/1532550307 Hype is uncalled for. nsenters07371 https://padlet.com/mwhisnan/ufwhyg892aez5syq/wish/1532555079 Trying to generate broad enthusiasm for milquetoast policy is a Sisyphean task. If advocates support an inadequate package, then they can't hope for more in the near future; moreover, they'll be maligned by opportunistic politicians when it fails. If stronger measures are required, then they must be fought for.]]> 2021-05-17 18:08:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mwhisnan/ufwhyg892aez5syq/wish/1532555079 gnajarian25481 https://padlet.com/mwhisnan/ufwhyg892aez5syq/wish/1532555572 I think young people protesting against climate change is very valuable, because it is a good way to get a point across especially for people who are too young to vote. ]]> 2021-05-17 18:08:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mwhisnan/ufwhyg892aez5syq/wish/1532555572 I believe it is very important for youth to show that they are going to fight for a meaningful and healthy future for our world https://padlet.com/mwhisnan/ufwhyg892aez5syq/wish/1532563882 2021-05-17 18:09:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mwhisnan/ufwhyg892aez5syq/wish/1532563882 Social media is a big one gcurley5472 https://padlet.com/mwhisnan/ufwhyg892aez5syq/wish/1532565900 Something I've discovered over the years is that curating your own social media feed is extremely beneficial. Following local Climate groups on Instagram for example, like Sunrise PDX, 350 PDX, and Renew Oregon, helps you to stay in the loop about upcoming events. Often times, those snapshots also provide links to their website with more detailed information. ]]> 2021-05-17 18:10:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mwhisnan/ufwhyg892aez5syq/wish/1532565900 social media seems to be where most information is spread https://padlet.com/mwhisnan/ufwhyg892aez5syq/wish/1532568083 2021-05-17 18:10:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mwhisnan/ufwhyg892aez5syq/wish/1532568083 https://padlet.com/mwhisnan/ufwhyg892aez5syq/wish/1532570814 I don't think activists should really follow any guidance from the government on how to react to certain proposals, bills, etc. This proposal is 5x smaller than where we need to be, even half of what we need according to conservative estimates. We need to do better and we need activists to continue speaking their mind on these matters. -ru]]> 2021-05-17 18:11:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mwhisnan/ufwhyg892aez5syq/wish/1532570814 gcurley5472 https://padlet.com/mwhisnan/ufwhyg892aez5syq/wish/1532577349 Youth are demanding that promises made by government or corporations to achieve net zero emissions are actually fulfilled.
