"Katya only uses her microscope to look at things that scare her, which I think is really smart."

We begin the spooky month with today's story about scary things, "Katya's Microscope," by Monica Joyce Evans.

Three groups — "Fridays for Future", "Fight Fossil Fuels", and "End Fossil Fuels USA" — are teaming up to stage mass climate protests and strikes all around the world next month.

Here's part of their message...
____________________________

Our world is in crisis. Extreme weather caused by the climate emergency is wreaking havoc in our communities and ecosystems across the globe, causing social insecurity and harm to people.

The biggest cause of this crisis is fossil fuels — coal, oil, and gas.

The fossil fuel industry is driving a predatory and destructive economic system that harms people and the planet, fuelling climate break down.

Fossil fuels are bad for the climate, for ecosystems, for our people, for our health, for our democracies, and for our economies.

The science is clear: what the world needs now is a rapid and just transition to an energy and economic system that is efficient, fair, and universal. A system based on clean energy sources and produced with respect for nature and the sovereign rights of Indigenous peoples.

This September, as world leaders discuss climate action at the United Nations in New York, people on every continent will join the largest-ever globally coordinated action and together WE WILL end fossil fuels.

The climate crisis is escalating but so is the global movement for climate justice. We need all hands on deck to win this fight.
