The time has come for a global climate strike!
On Sepember 20th is the second Global Climate Strike. This strike is the culmination a global student movement called “Fridays for Future”, which started with Greta Thunberg in Sweden and has grown to include thousands of participants in more than 1600 cities and over 100 countries. Let us all join together for this strike in Pleven, showing support to the protests in Sofia, Varna and Samokov.
We are in great need of more adequate and determined action in order to avoid massive ecological catastrophes.
But this can’t happen when our world leaders who only take symbolic measures or who OPENLY deny science and who are pressured by fossil fuel lobbyists. Unfortunately Bulgaria is also a part of this problem. We have an “Eco” minister who is a well-known climate change denier who is the leading political support for destruction of protected land. Our energy minister has decided that Bulgaria should depend on coal for 60 more years!
