It's good that British schoolchildren are joining the 'strikes' of young school and college people to counter the inertia of current governments/ big business when it comes to serious environmental issues (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/feb/08/global-school-strikes-over-climate-change-head-to-the-uk). I can but agree with them that our governments (including that of the UK) seem to do very little (except generate hot air) about issues such as a) climate change; b) encouraging adoption of sustainable/ healthy diets; c) countering air pollution, especially in cities; d) stopping ocean acidification and e) developing appropriate sources of power for their populations (rather than being obsessed with fracking). They might even be able to educate the so-called 'adults'!
