The calls for climate change in 琉璃神社 were heard from a younger crowd Friday afternoon.

A student-led protest was organized by 琉璃神社 students to bring even more attention to the inaction of changes needed in 琉璃神社鈥檚 climate, as well as changes that are needed around the globe.

Students from RSS, KSS, OKM join together to discuss climate change.

UBC Okanagan fourth year student Clare Addison joined the protest with 琉璃神社 high school students to accompany the young and local cries to action.

Addison said she had not seen a youth gathering like that since her high school days.

鈥淚t鈥檚 amazing, I鈥檝e cared about this for a long time, and I feel that the past couple of years nothing much been done about it,鈥� said Addison. 鈥淚t鈥檚 really nice to be a part of this, and all the people in high school are doing amazing (work). What they鈥檝e been doing says a lot the next generation.鈥�

Students took turns on a microphone explaining why they were there, and how today鈥檚 youth, including students from all over the Okanagan, can lead the way into changes that need to be made to decrease the effects of climate change.

Diets, carbon footprints and fossil fuels were the most discussed topics that the Okanagan students hope will lead to a revolution of climate change needs.

鈥淚 hope that it spreads the message and gets more people involved,鈥� said Addison

UBCO鈥檚 Clare Addison invites people to join the fight against climate change. 鈥淛ust look around,鈥� Addison says.
