What did you do when the earth was unraveling?

Surely you did something

when the seasons started failing?

as the mammals, reptiles, birds were all dying?

What did you do once you knew?

poetry by Drew Dillinger

 #FridaysForFuture is a youth-led and -organised movement that began in August 2018, after 15-year-old Greta Thunberg and other young activists sat in front of the Swedish parliament every schoolday for three weeks, to protest against the lack of action on the climate crisis. She posted what she was doing on Instagram and Twitter and it soon went viral.
