Who are you? - Ekvall

My namen is Elsa Tilia and I'm a part of Extincion rebellion, ffridaysforfuture, the network for art and climate and the "vänsterpartiets" youth organisation in sweden. - Tilia

How are you fighting for the climate? - Ekvall

We do a lot to fight the climate crisis, mostly we do actions about what is going on around the world. For example, this fall we went to Berlin and had a 7 day action together with the extinction rebellion in berlin. We did blockades to stop traffic and highlight the climate crisis. Because we stopped the traffic in a large city the politicians had to act. - Tilia

What do you think about the studies that say there will be more plastic than fish by year 2050? -Ekvall

The studies about the fact that we will have more plastic than fish in the oceans is really upsetting but it is also giving more motivation to the youth in the climate movement. - Tilia

Do you think we have to cut down the use of disposable products? - Ekvall

I believe that we need to cut down on the use of plastic especially single use plastic since a part of the plastic we use end up in the oceans and kills our marine life and a lot of the species in the oceans are on the edge of going extinct. - Tilia

What do you think the politicians should do? And what kind of responsibility lies in their hands? - Ekvall

I think the politicians are sitting on the majority of the responsibility to actually fight the climate crisis. I think the politicians needs to insert higher taxes on both single used plastic and plastic in general to cut down on the amount of plastic in our oceans. The responsibility of our future is in their hands. - Tilia

As a civilian you also have a responsibility to help. What do you think we can do as a private person? - Ekvall

We need to recycle and try to eat as much organic food as possible and most important we need to help each other to put pressure on the politicians. - Tilia

Thank you Elsa Tilia, member of Extincion Rebellion Sweden.
