Climate Strike Sept. 20th

[birder]

SEPT
20
RSPB Sandwell switches off in support of YouthStrike4Climate
Public · Hosted by RSPB Birmingham, Black Country & Warwickshire and YouthStrike4Climate

Tomorrow from 11:00-16:00
Tomorrow · 52–70°F Sunny

RSPB Sandwell Valley
Tanhouse Avenue, B43 5AG Birmingham, United Kingdom

On the 20th September, students, young people and workers will strike from school or the workplace by taking TOIL, booking a holiday, joining a walkout or taking a half day, in order to demand action on the climate catastrophe. We are waking up to a reality where we can no longer choose to ignore this issue: we must stand up and fight for our future or face an uninhabitable planet.

RSPB Sandwell will be turning off all of the electric we can between 11am - 4pm. Join all of our staff and volunteers on the reserve as we get out of the visitor centre and into nature to show our support for the YouthStrike4Climate.

We will be conducting a BioBlitz of the Wildlife Garden, making hot drinks and tasty snacks on our camp fire with sustainably sourced fuel and chatting about what we can do as individuals to help tackle the challenge of global warming.

So on this day between 11am - 4pm there will be:

* No coffee machine or kettles
* No lights, expect the ones required for Health and Safety.
* No electrical equipment in the office or workshops.
* Our fridges will be turned off.
* Hot drinks will be available outdoors for a small donation.
* A free campfire snack for anyone who pledges to make an energy saving change.
* A chance to discover more about the nature at RSPB Sandwell

Has the world gone mad? What will you be doing on the day?

I will be racing to work and back in my 24mpg diesel vehicle through Milton Keynes (which has alot of roundabouts)

Firing up my generator on site for a variety of powertools, installing a gas boiler amongst other things.

I suggest they extend the hours to 24/7 for the whole nation from now throughout the entire upcoming winter.  After all, an experiment should be experienced over a meaningful time frame to get the proper appreciation.  
As for me.  Perhaps I'll see if conditions are right for burning off 40 acres of grass to make up for the shortfall.  Probably too wet though.

That's just embarrassing as a Midlander. Bet they wouldn't do it if it was pissing with rain...

"Has the world gone mad? "

Rhetorical, right?

Only ~100 years ago most young people lived in squalid boarding houses and could only hope for menial jobs with little promise. Groceries cost a very large portion of monthly pay, diseases killed many people before old age. And of course no tech gadgets.

The left has no idea what they are talking about.

The west has become so prosperous that these idiots can afford to spend time protesting issues which they know almost nothing about, rather than working for their very survival.

Yes, and how much of their protesting is due to a sùb-conscious sense of guilt??

They're hooked on meaningless, senseless media and devices which slave them from real world experiences which en-rich life.

Their guilt is due to their inability to tear themselves away from these and their profound wish to save nature is an expression of desire to be closer to it.

I offer free psychotherapy sessions for free btw (because they're pointless, i know nothing! 🤣)
