These Kids Are Ditching School To Protest Climate Change
Kids around the US and the globe are ditching school on Friday to call out adults for not doing enough on climate change.
The growing global movement started as a solo effort. Greta Thunberg, a teenager with Asperger's syndrome who often wears pigtail braids,August 20, 2018 outside the Swedish parliament building in Stockholm, handing out fliers with climate facts on them, and then kept coming back.
Like Thunberg’s solitary start, Coleman has been striking mostly by herself every Friday this year around Denver, from a hospital to a Home Depot to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. With her mom driving her around, Coleman alternates each week between protesting in the morning for about an hour before school or in the middle of the day during lunch .
