Sari Green

SAINT ANDREWS Students from Sir James Dunn Acad- emy (SJDA) in Saint Andrews are wor- ried about the future of the planet, and they are doing things about it rather than just talking about it. Last week, they held a forum where students were able to question experts about climate change and what they can do to stop it and reverse its effects. On Friday, stu- dents took part in a worldwide strike/ walkout meant to demand action on cli- mate change. And the event wasn’t only in Saint Andrews. Students and people around the world walked out of their schools, businesses, etc. on Friday to show the world they want things to change, and they want to protect the environment for future generations. Signe Anderson, member of the SJDA Climate Activist Committee, said when they fi rst started planning this lo- cal walk, they had no idea it would grow into something as huge as it did. They Sari Green/Courier were just planning on holding their Members of the student Climate Activist Committee own school walkout. Then they decided at Sir James Dunn Academy in Saint Andrews led the Andrew Sutton/Courier that they should invite the rest of the community on a walk through the Town to demand Hudson Dunwoody (11) and Sophie Bernard community to take part.
