Do you want to come to the next Fridays for Future demonstration with me?en
I thought they are only for school children?en
No, they are open to everyone who cares about climate change.en
I'm still not convinced. I mean what are they actually protesting?en
For their own future. They want politicians to be more active and actually stand by their word.en
I guess you're right. Many promises from the Paris Climate Agreement have not been kept.en
Exactly. They need a reminder that empty words won't satisfy us anymore.en
Okay, you've convinced me. I'll join you. Have you been before?en
Yes, a couple of times. It's always a peaceful demonstration and the posters are really creative.en
Are you going to make a sign as well?en
I already have one with a polar bear on it. If you want, I can make you one too?en
Thanks for the offer, but I think I'll go without a sign for my first demonstration.en
