Kids are speaking up for the environment. Let's listen | Olafur Eliasson

If you want to hear more of this guy he has a really great documentary episode in "abstract, the art of design" he's really great

"Today I will listen to another. Practice today listening to another...You will be engaging your whole mind in your conversation. Take time, then, to practice listening without speaking. Allow others to express themselves to you. You will find that they have a greater communication for you than you might at first have anticipated." (quote from Steps to Knowledge, Marshall Vian Summers, New Message org)

We are! I got rid of my air conditioner 2 years ago, bought a cycle and I won't buy a car before I'm 25. But I'll still be using my cycle more often. 1 planted 30+ trees last year and our school conducted environment awareness programs all over my town. Next year, my plan is to plant 50+ trees

Who ever reads this please know: You have so much potential inside you. You are beautiful and strong. Have a wonderful day ❤️. Much love!🙏🏽

Uh let's not. Kids should be seen and not heard. Because they need to listen more and learn.

M also a teenager kiddos and I'm totally by your side. Yes for sure you are not alone in this fight and for sure the world is gonna listen you. Atleast you people have a platform like TED to spread your voices and organise campaigns and so on. But in country like India, though India is a really nice country but the I dunno why the people here consider 18-- kids and adolescents to be unawared. Even if we speak up for our rights, it is called back answering. Still whatever is possible to do to save the env.,we all will do! Regards to all those sweet souls tryin save the world and entities 🥂🎶🦋💫🌎❤️

I like that it hides their face while still giving them a voice and platform to speak up and on! We have to listen to the kids, I wish the grown ups did when I was younger, I'm sure we wouldn't be in such a huge mess if they did. I'm 40 years old. Kids these days are a lot smarter than you and I. Listen to them, they will give us the answers. It's always just so simple.

0:14 "I'm an artist!" I thought he was a Mancunian for a second.

Reading some comments... why is it so bad to let the kids speak out? Children are people. Let them speak!

Very cute and simple minds, very complex problems and very resentful old kids who have never grown up are pushing their repetitive message through real children - our children.

"let the kids speak" should be: let the kids read what the adults wrote down. This is just using kids to get a message from the grown-ups across. Honestly borderline child abuse.

Climate change and environmental protection are extremely complicated, politicized and divisive topics, they are very hard to be fully understood even by adults. These kids are just speaking heads for the adults and that is disgusting: adults must have the bravery to speak by themselves. I'm not saying that the kids said something right or wrong, but I am saying that adults should not use kids to express their views.

This is manipulative and exploitative. We don't let those kids vote or smoke or drive or drink, because kids lack the maturity to understand the consequences of their actions, they haven't developed an adult level of impulse control, and they lack the experience to distinguish when they're activists and when they're props for activists.
