St Clare's High School environmental group wish to address the rising issues concerning the global climate crisis in which you neglect to acknowledge.
In this letter, we want to call for action within the community and government to take a stance against climate change.
As you may or may not know, there was a scheduled nation-wide strike against climate change occurring on Friday, September 20, in which tens of thousands of students did not attend school to protest publicly in order to gain attention and recognition from their local politicians.

This was to raise awareness about the youth concern towards how the government is addressing the prominent climate concerns and is calling for a change.
We are the generation that has seen the most ice melt in summer and bush fires in winter. The Bureau of Meteorology has recently declared the Mid North Coast in the worst drought in recorded history.
These irregular and unexpected natural disasters are the Earth's way of screaming for help and it seems we are the only ones listening.
The United Nations stated we have approximately 11 years before the climate crisis is irreversible. That's 11 years to undo almost 200 years of air pollution and enhanced greenhouse gases. That's 11 years to reverse land degradation and clean up the great pacific garbage patch.
That's 11 years to save our home.
I don't know about you, but we think that's a fair amount of time for politicians to act.
So please, for the sake of the Earth and our own futures, act now.
