'That Friday feeling', for the last few weeks, has taken on an entirely different meaning. Children, striking and protesting. Demanding governments across the globe take action on climate change.
The movement was spurred by Greta Thunberg, a Swedish climate change activist. Greta is only 16 years old and yet it appears she has more sense than most of our politicians. Her moving speech 'our house is on fire', is truly inspiring. Her speech and the message behind it, resonates so strongly with our company's conscience and the reasons we do what we do.
Our planet is dying. Our children, and our grandchildren, will suffer if we do not act.
No singular individual can save the world; we all have to work together to do what we can to make a change. The government has a duty to start making change, and the media has a duty to educate and raise awareness. As Greta said in her speech:
"The bigger your carbon footprint is, the bigger your moral duty.
The bigger your platform, the bigger your responsibility."
We stand with the children striking, we admire their bravery, resilience and core message.
We can only save the planet, together.
It's time to panic. It's time for the revolution.
It's time to act. Now.
