Students Leave Class For Rally

Some students are cutting classes today to take part in rallies to support the battle against climate change.

It’s a world wide initiative aimed at getting the attention of politicians and business leaders.

More than 100 students carried signs outside the Vernon courthouse this afternoon, some reading “Save Our Planet, Save Our Future”…”The Oceans are Rising and So Are We”…and “There Is No Economy On a Dead Planet.”

There are numerous other events in places like Kelowna, Nelson and a big gathering in Vancouver.
