It's sad that in order to get politicians to pay attention to the climate problem young people have to go to such extreme measures...

[vanessasonica]

Hope they ate a whole buffet before starting ‘cause they will be there for a good while

[meepsurasrex]

Like that's gonna change anything but I give them luck for trying I guess?

Dude I hate when people go on a hunger strike.

Like dude, just start with your own community. Then work your way up.

Hearts in the right place but this is pretty dumb.

This is what happens when the average age for senators on Capital Hill is 65. We need some young blood on Capital Hill.

Sitting there and starving yourself won't help, you'll starve yourself for nothing.

Imagine just sitting there and waiting for someone else to do the job, good luck with that.

I have an idea, go do something useful like clean up s beach or join the peace corps. Or not charge your iPhone every day.

I admire the methods he’s using. But that guy’s gonna starve before Biden even hears about him.
Politicians caring about the well-being and health of the people? When has that ever happened? Not gonna happen here.

Dear Senator Manchin, everyone you know invested in fossil fuels, should literally diversify and start including renewable energy sources in their investment portfolios. You should be working on getting them into wind and solar power, if they want to retain the same buying power going into the future. Help coal miners you can no longer employ, get renewable energy jobs under the same corporations controlling energy now. Colorado has invited oil and gas companies into the renewable energy sector. You should do the same. ❤

These kids are Much more well informed than anyone in the comments section.

So instead of doing something that will actually make a difference like joining organisations that clean the ocean, providing education about climate, etc....they choose this?

In early detection we've found that our Mother, Earth, has cancer. Her systems are dying and she suffers as it spreads. Stage 1 and 2 are long gone. She needs help now!

How about doing something in your community first....this just screams "look at me" activism, prime for tiktok and IG posts. Climate change is important, but this ain't it, sorry. Also, choosing to starve when so many live below the poverty line and many people/families are struggling to find their next meal with everything going on in this country...this is just not cool to me. What a luxury to choose not to eat.

Considering that the infrastructure bill just died under Joe Mancheins heel, I'd say Biden cares a lot more about his corporate donors then fasting citizens. Then again this did work for Gandhi.
