Youth Climate Strike Hawaii - HereOnThePrimalEdge - 03-15-2019
At 3 PM this afternoon, Hawaii students will gather in front of the state capitol in Honolulu:
Young minds are planning to hold a nationwide strike this month in an effort to help fight climate change — and local students say they’re joining the fight.

The international movement was started by a 16 year old girl, Greta Thunberg, who has missed school to sit outside the Swedish parliament almost every Friday since last August.
It may not be a large gathering here in Hawaii, but it's a start. When people say the keiki are our future, these are the kids they're talking about.

7th graders in Hawaii are contributing to a healthy environment with their design for a device which will clean up plastic in the ocean. They were selected in the first round of National Geographic's GeoChallenge contest. We've got some resourceful keiki in Hawaii:
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - At Wheeler Middle School, a team of six seventh-graders designed and built a model of their solution for cleaning up plastic pollution in the ocean.
“You’ve got two boats dragging a net that’s 5 feet above the surface. It drops down 80 feet into the water,” team member Payton Custis said.
The net would be microfiber, thinly woven with holes for fish to safely swim through to escape the garbage patch.
Wheeler’s one of only 250 schools National Geographic selected from across the U.S. The team’s teacher, Olga Dolgopolova, said that’s an impressive accomplishment.

give those geniuses a medal.
Didn’t we have a discussion about this kind of behavior not too long ago?
What did we decide was the term for an adult who picks on, or preys on children?

"Young minds are planning to hold a nationwide strike this month in an effort to help fight climate change — and local students say they’re joining the fight."
I'll fix it:
"Young impressionable minds are planning to hold a nationwide strike this month in an effort to help fight climate change — and local students say they’re joining the fight."
Don't worry, one of the political parties is trying to lower the voting age to 16 so that they can influence voters directly in liberal classrooms and instruct their undeveloped intellects how to vote through social media: https://thehill.com/homenews/house/434115-pelosi-says-she-backs-lowering-voting-age-to-16
