In the last episode Dom went to the first ‘Solidarity for Greta’ vigil in Bath which took place in October 2018. This vigil has been repeated every week with another on Saturdays, and the number of people involved has been steadily growing. Extinction Rebellion is now quite a large and dynamic movement.
The school strikes, inspired by Greta Thunberg, have spread and now take place around the world. Today, the 15th of February, was the first nationally co-ordinated ‘School Strike 4 Climate Action’ in the UK. School children around the country walked out to take part in protests and vigils, with organisers claiming more than 10,000 took part.
The largest protest was in London where around 3,000 children participated, with other large gatherings in Oxford, Exeter, Leeds, Brighton, Bristol, Sheffield and Glasgow.
Being close to Bristol many children from Bath opted to attend the larger demonstration there, but a good number came to the Guildhall for a lively demonstration in the city. Dom went along to take part and talk to the people there. The show finishes with a word from Bath's MP Wera Hobhouse and Lin Patterson, Green councillor promoting the petition to the council to declare a climate emergency.
