0:00:02.100,0:00:04.375
This is not a drill.

0:00:04.375,0:00:06.651
My name is Greta Thunberg.

0:00:07.222,0:00:10.212
We are living in the beginning [br]of a mass extinction.

0:00:11.451,0:00:13.612
[br]Our climate is breaking down.

0:00:14.322,0:00:18.217
Children like me are giving up [br]their education to protest.

0:00:18.791,0:00:20.877
But we can still fix this.

0:00:20.957,0:00:22.963
You can still fix this.

0:00:23.492,0:00:26.577
To survive, we need to stop burning fossil fuels

0:00:27.507,0:00:29.822
But this alone will not be enough.

0:00:30.202,0:00:32.692
Lots of solutions are talked about.

0:00:32.692,0:00:35.412
But what about the solution [br]that is right in front of us?

0:00:35.912,0:00:38.112
[br]I’ll let my friend George explain.

0:00:38.331,0:00:42.721
There is a magic machine [br]that sucks carbon out of the air

0:00:42.721,0:00:45.796
costs very little, and builds itself.

0:00:46.676,0:00:47.929
It’s called...

0:00:47.929,0:00:48.872
a tree.

0:00:49.212,0:00:53.692
A tree is an example [br]of a natural climate solution.

0:00:53.692,0:00:56.952
Mangroves, peatbogs, jungles, [br]marshes, seabeds,

0:00:56.952,0:00:59.952
kelp forests, swamps, coral reefs

0:00:59.952,0:01:02.692
they take carbon out of the air [br]and lock it away.

0:01:03.342,0:01:07.883
Nature is a tool we can use [br]to repair our broken climate.

0:01:08.902,0:01:12.392
These natural climate solutions [br]could make a massive difference.

0:01:12.655,0:01:14.012
[br]Pre y cool, right?

0:01:14.362,0:01:17.622
But only if we also leave fossil fuels [br]in the ground.

0:01:19.942,0:01:22.172
Here’s the crazy part

0:01:22.172,0:01:24.402
right now we are ignoring them.

0:01:26.114,0:01:29.478
We spend 1000 times more [br]on global fossil fuels subsidies

0:01:29.478,0:01:32.843
than natural based solutions.

0:01:33.102,0:01:35.797
Natural climate solutions get just 2%

0:01:35.797,0:01:39.053
of all the money used on tackling climate breakdown.

0:01:39.534,0:01:41.321
This is your money.

0:01:41.321,0:01:43.468
It is your taxes and your savings.

0:01:44.003,0:01:45.188
Even more crazy

0:01:45.188,0:01:47.211
right now when we need nature the most,

0:01:47.211,0:01:50.094
we’re destroying it faster than ever.

0:01:50.133,0:01:54.228
Up to 200 species are going extinct [br]every single day.

0:01:54.672,0:01:57.250
Much of the arctic ice is gone.

0:01:57.250,0:01:59.209
Most of our wild animals have gone.

0:01:59.209,0:02:01.228
Much of our soil has gone.

0:02:01.362,0:02:02.852
[br]So what should we do?

0:02:03.003,0:02:04.492
What should YOU do?

0:02:04.784,0:02:09.513
[br]It’s simple. We need to protect, restore, and fund.

0:02:09.764,0:02:16.113
[br]Protect. Tropical forests are being cut down at the rate of 30 football pitches a minute.

0:02:16.163,0:02:20.715
[br]Where Nature is doing something vital, we must protect it.

0:02:21.085,0:02:25.132
[br]Restore. Much of our planet has been damaged.

0:02:25.641,0:02:30.042
[br]But Nature can regenerate, and we can help ecosystems bounce back.

0:02:31.051,0:02:31.881
[br]Fund.

0:02:32.802,0:02:38.412
[br]We need to stop funding things that destroy Nature, and pay for things that help it.

0:02:39.302,0:02:43.801
[br]It is that simple. Protect. Restore. Fund.

0:02:44.812,0:02:52.652
[br]This can happen everywhere. Many people have already begun using natural climate soluøons. We need to do it on a massive scale.

0:02:53.262,0:02:54.672
[br]You can be part of this.

0:02:55.362,0:02:57.771
[br]Vote for people who defend nature.

0:02:58.321,0:03:00.621
[br]Share this video. Talk about this.

0:03:01.351,0:03:06.171
[br]All around the world there are amazing movements. Fighøng for Nature. Join them.

0:03:14.282,0:03:19.915
[br]Everything counts. What you do, counts.
