The 14-year-old Australian who wants to become the new Greta Thunberg

THE Greta Thunberg has become in recent years a very recognizable person, with an international reach, who participated with dedication in the “battle” against climate change. Another, younger girl, wants to follow in her footsteps and to become in turn a personality that will inspire the world to participate in the fulfillment of the goal.

Leading thousands of protesters in the streets of central Sydney and co-signing a class action is not a common activity for a 14-year-old girl. However, Easy Ratz-Spappings has given up the lightest extracurricular activities, in order to put pressure on the leadership of her country and raise awareness of the issue that is of great concern to humanity.

The young Australian has become one of the most prominent environmental activists in her country since her crying face made headlines in the international press in late 2019, when she stared at the armed police officers who threatened to arrest her outside the prime minister’s residence.

“I think a lot of people look at us and say, ‘Oh, they’s kids, they don’t know what they’re saying,'” she told Reuters in an April 6 interview. He added: “But I think they underestimate us and that they do not realize how strong we are and how much we are working on it. “We are listening to scientists who have been trying to get the attention of citizens for generations and people are not listening to them about climate change.”

Australia is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of per capita pollutants, and according to Raj-Sapings, inaction on climate change by Prime Minister Scott Morrison shows the need for a change of leadership.

The fight seems to bring results

Her clash with police in 2019 took place when the schoolgirl had gathered with angry protesters outside Morrison’s official residence in Sydney, in the aftermath of the devastating forest fires. This was her first protest and was the occasion to be characterized “Greta Thunberg of Australia”.

According to the APE-MPE, this month he was in the spotlight again, after he led thousands of students who protested in the streets of central Sydney, as part of the “Fourth School Climate Strike”.

After all, Izzy was one of eight teenagers who filed a class action lawsuit against the federal government, arguing that expanding a coal mine in New South Wales would contribute to climate change and jeopardize their future.

The case led to a landmark court ruling last week. In fact, the Minister of Environment characterized as a moral obligation to children to take into account the sufferings caused by climate change.

Raj-Spappings has a message to send to Morrison in case she is given the opportunity to meet him one day. “I will definitely tell him that he needs to wake up, that the time for action has come and that we need her now,” the student said in an interview on April 6.
