Please don’t make the planet fend for itself. Uphold your promises for a carbon free country by 2050 or earlier. The planet is dying, time is a luxury. From an anxious student.
Let’s realise that we have to make changes now and not later to protect the planet and everyone who lives on it.
Please use your power to create heart-led change. I am faced with a deteriorating world. No new oil! Social and economic justice as climate changes.
It is my hope that politicians are held to account and made to prioritse human life over profit from oil and gas. Poeple in the global south are already facing climate catastrophe and shouldering a burden they are not responsible for. It is shameful that our politicians are brokering contracts for gas and oil exploration. They are willfully complicit in ethnic cleansing for the sake of lining their own pockets.
