Friday is Global Day of Climate Action. Across San Diego students are pleading for change.
These students say they are out with their signs today to prove others wrong. They say that they can make a difference and that having their voices be heard is the first step. Through the chants and marching at Friendship Park, students from across Chula Vista hope that their group march can be a drop in a much larger bucket to fight climate change.The President of Bonita Vista High School's Green Club, says what she wants most is to end oil fracking across California and the country."We want a green planet for our future and it's important that policy changes and we need it now," she explains.
The students hope their unified voices can spark the change that's needed for the future they want to see. This week Governor Newsom has been at Climate Week in New York City. He sat down with world leaders to discuss preventing wildfires, what California is doing to prevent climate change and the state's most recent announcement of $54 billion towards climate action.
