Quotations

“The growing threat to our future posed by climate change has stimulated students to take action. . . ‘The fossil fuel industry has been blocking change to sustainable energy for their own financial interests.' We must therefore make it in their financial interests to change. Divestment can help achieve this.” (Scoop, July 19, 2018; photo twitter)
