We've just got one more question: can you tell us which event you're most looking forward to❓ 1/2

It's got to be #TheGreenLie. One of the things that I come up against the most is that we can grow our way out of this crisis and I don't think that's true. 2/2
What are the biggest challenges in getting young people involved in climate causes❓ The thing is, it’s such a big issue. It’s really difficult to know what we can do. 1/3 #takeover

We can say, for example, that we want solar panels but where’s the money going to come from for that? Actually, this is why I think we need a whole change to the way we think about money and what is valuable. People talk about economic growth as something that’s valuable. 2/3

But I think we need system change. This would mean a focus from the top as well as the bottom on what’s good for the environmental and for social justice as well. 3/3 #takover
