Community News Very striking action

et and Izzy Anita Gray and her children Eli, Viol

The Sunshine Coast will be buzzing with young people and their supporters on Friday, September 20 when they gather for climate action at the Global Strike for Climate. From 12noon until 2pm Cotton Tree Park and surrounds will be a bright, colourful display of Sunny Coasters' passion for meaningful climate action. A large contingent from Maleny is preparing to attend and the numbers are increasing. Anita Gray is fully supportive of her children, Violet, Eli and Izzy, taking part and she is encouraging other families to join the march or to send a message to our leaders that we want leadership towards a climate-safe future. Year 11 Maleny High School student Violet said she felt the strike was an amazing opportunity for everyone to come together and voice their

opinions to make a real impact on how we run not only a nation but a planet. Year 9 student Eli said the event was on the last day of school this term, “so why wouldn't you want to prioritise being involved in such an historic movement". He is excited to be part of what is a global day of action, with climate strikes being held in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and in cities around the world. "We see the climate crisis all over social media, the news, in the weather and in our own lives. We can't avoid it anymore, so why not stand behind and support young people fighting for their futures," said Izzy, who is in a gap year and has an articulate passion for speaking up for the environment and for her younger siblings' future. In Maleny the meeting point is the Maple Street bus stop at 10am to colourfully wave off those taking the bus to the event. Other students and families are carpooling supported by volunteers from the Maleny community. To be involved with the carpool email carboncanaries@gmail.com. An event will be held between now and the day for placard and banner painting, or attendees can paint their own. To find out more go to the Facebook event for Sunshine Coast - Global #ClimateStrike.
