Young people across the country went on strike to demand emergency climate action, and to show their voices will be heard.

Here in mid Wales, there was a walkout at Ysgol Penglais in Aberystwyth, where 40 students signed in at school to stop their teachers getting in trouble, before walking out and delivering a letter to the council demanding they declare a climate emergency!

Finally I'd just like to say a huge thank you to everyone that's signed! We're now at over 100,000 signatures and rising.

Please share the videos and keep the word spreading - we must save our planet!
