Our right to live
Derin Kutlay
We climate activists are fighting for our right to live tomorrow.
Derin Kutlay, climate activist, Ankara, 17 years
Being a climate activist is inevitable for narcissists like me: For how else can I make sure that my social media followers care about what I share in the very likely drinking water crisis in the near future? How can I prove that I am more adventurous than anyone else by posting my photos from Amazonia when all the rain forests have been slaughtered? You see, solving the climate crisis is really a must for me! Of course, I'm joking. We climate activists are fighting for our right to live tomorrow.
Grown-ups! You're not too late. You have already given us science, inventions, art and education, but there are many more things to do which you left unfinished or you haven't even started to do.
Youngsters! It is never too early to stand up for one's rights, especially when it is not certain that we will find our world tomorrow not even as (bad as) it is today. Come join our revolution. See you on the Friday strikes!
