Leelanau School students walk out to protest Climate Change

From staff reports

Student activist Liam Bottoms led Leelanau School students to join in the worldwide walkout to protest against global climate change on Thursday, Sept. 20. Millions of Students and many adults from around the world walked out of schools and workplaces to demand immediate action against climate change. The walkout was planned ahead of the United Nations General Assembly and Climate Action Summit which will be held on September 23.

Liam rallied the other students to join the walkout with his sincere call, “Our planet is dying. No one person can save it. We need a level of organization never seen before. I am a climate activist. I am a member of the Sunrise Movement. I am a lover of Mother Earth. In late October, I hope to launch a Sunrise Movement local hub to work for climate change action in the Traverse City area and I need all the help I can get. I refuse to do nothing for our planet when we are leading it to undeniable destruction, and we, as humans, as stewards of the environment, can stop it.”
