Global Climate Strike – 20 Sep 2019 – Mangalore City Corporation

Global Climate Strike
On 20 Sep 2019 @ 5PM
Venue: Mangalore City Corporation, Mangalore
September 20th, Friday is Global Climate Strike. This movement was started by Greta Thunberg, a 16 year old Swedish girl.
In 2018, Greta began peacefully protesting alone outside the Swedish Parliament urging the Government to act on the climate crisis. She skipped school every Friday for this cause and now thousands around the world have joined her.
This event is to raise awareness on our fast paced and unsustainable lifestyle that’s damaging the planet.
On September 20, a group of concerned Mangaloreans are observing Climate Strike Day outside Mangaluru City Corporation, 5pm to 7pm.
The purpose is the raise awareness in public and to show that we care for the future of our city and the world. It’s to tell our leaders that the people want better options that are good for our planet.
“These Climate Strikes won’t solve the climate crisis alone, What this moment can do is demonstrate that people are no longer willing to continue with business as usual.”
Being a coastal city, Mangaluru is already facing the brunt of climate change. Irregular rains, sea erosion, plastic pollution are few of the problems the city deals with.
‘Our house is is on fire – let’s act like it. We demand climate justice for everyone.’
