No. No. No. it stands for Fridays for Future, an international
movement of school students who take time off form class to participate in
demonstrations to demand action to prevent further global warming and climate
change.

Oh I see. It’s important for all of us to reduce carbon footprint.
Eleanor, how do you go green?

Given the seriousness of the climate crisis, it is vital that people
make big changes in the way we live our lives. For me, this includes things
like using a fan instead of the air conditioning and reducing the amount of
meat in my diet. However, individuals can only do so much to deal with the
climate emergency. The world’s economy is designed to use up much of the
planet’s resources, making drastic action by business and governments is
important as well.

To reduce my footprint, I try to avoid wasting food and I have “Green
Mondays’ at home which means my family do not eat meat on Mondays. I also
walk instead of using transport if I know I’m only going a short distance. More
importantly I donate money to groups that tackle the climate crisis. They promote
sustainable lifestyles and raise environmental awareness.

Take action now to reduce carbon footprint. We can have a better
environment to live in.
