About this event
Extreme weather, dying animals, plastic pollution, poisoned oceans, political conflict, poverty and inequality, poor mental heal, dwindling resources – the world’s problems are so big that ‘we’re doomed’ seems like a motto for our age.
But it’s not true – our future is still in our hands!
We can’t admit defeat before we’ve even tried. We can fix these problems with some courage, some vision and some hard work. We have to. This planet is our common home: we’ve nowhere else to live. Our children and their children have nowhere else to live.
But we can’t fix it without a plan. We can march and we can protest. We can set targets and we can declare emergencies. It’s all necessary – but nothing will change until we make a start.
We have a plan for Scotland. If we follow the plan we will live in good homes with all the heat and energy we need. We can travel more freely, eat better food, bring our land back to life, end waste and work in rewarding, well-paid jobs. We will learn a better way to live to escape for good the treadmills each of us is forced onto – all while ending our destruction of the environment.
