The news that volunteers had climbed onto the roof of the UK Parliament building in London to protest about the lack of action on legislation to protect our climate warmed my heart. Watching the video about why three of these very ordinary people felt the need to take direct action in this way, reduced me to tears. Time is ticking, we are rapidly running out of options and the time to show that we actually give a damn about the silent majority who are already being affected by this on a day to day basis has to be right now, not next year, not in 2020.
Yet here I sit, in the country which has just been named as the highest per capita contributor to carbon dioxide emmissions in the world, feeling utterly adrift. Surrounded by highways, 4x4s and patio heaters, I know not which way to turn.
Have a look at the video, it speaks volumes more than I could ever articulate:
