Animal Extincton – Lil's World

I took part in the Carnival of Creatures yesterday organised by my friends at Rising up Families MCR

We were protesting Climate Breakdown and Animal Extinction. Usually people think about animal extinction and they think or Tigers and Rhino’s. they don’t think about the insects and animals here in the UK.

They are just as important to our ecosystems. We have to look after them.

So different to the strikes, but so wonderful to be apart of it. To see so many people of all ages, especially children because we care about animals and the planet and we know that they are hurting and dieing and we don’t want that.

We dressed up as animals in danger of extinction. I went as a turtle and wore a crown I made from plastics that represent the plastics in the sea and oceans that are damaging ocean life. ( I took other people’s plastics as we use very little to no single use plastic.)

It was fun, but more importantly there were lots of people watching, asking about what we were doing – so it did raise awareness which is the main thing.
