School students across the country walked out of their classrooms this week, calling on politicians to start taking action on climate change.


The Prime Minister condemned the strike, saying there should be "less activism" in schools. Lucie Atkin Bolton is an 11-year-old who's passionate about protecting the environment. On Friday she cut class to join students in the "school strike for climate action", held in more than 30 cities and towns across the country. She  says it's time for politicians to take action.
