Thousands of Los Angeles students skipped classes and marched to join the worldwide global climate strike protests. Here's what some had to say.
Skate Courduff is worried for herself and her future children and grandchildren. “Knowing that they’re not going to have a world with good natural sources, not going to have clean air to breathe, the world is going to be on fire,” said Courduff, a Cal State Northridge film student. She and her film teacher both skipped class to attend the event, she said.
“I’m OK with missing class because...what’s the use of getting a diploma when there’s not going to be a world to use it on?” Courduff asked. Leaders all over the world, especially President Trump, “have to do something,” she said, holding a sign that read “schools strike for climate” in Swedish, a nod to Greta.Aliou Sullivan first learned about the ills of fossil fuels in fourth grade.
Aliou and his father bike and walk as much as possible, and other adults need to do their part too, he said. “They should start using bikes more and the people in power should make highways and freeways smaller” so commuters will use more public transit, Aliou said.“I’m kind of mad and sad about how the Earth is changing, it shouldn’t be changing,” he said. The fossil fuels that make cars run “pollute so much” he said, looking up at the sky. “I hate watching trucks, the exhaust coming out.
I’m kind of mad and sad about how the earth is changing, it shouldn’t be changing...but fossils fuels are bad.” Aliou Sullivan, 10. “They pollute so much” he said, looking up at the sky.
