【Taste of a Married Woman】

Thousands of school children in the UK are Taste of a Married Womancurrently skipping class in favour of marching the streets in a call for world leaders to act on climate change.

Inspired by Swedish teen activist Greta Thunberg, who organised her own month-long strike outside the Swedish parliament to raise awareness of climate change, kids are stepping out in 60 locations across the United Kingdom, according to organisers Youth Strike 4 Climate.

The mass walkout was condemned by some politicians and celebrated by others, but the kids sure seem to mean business.
