TWO Langholm schoolgirls made their voices heard at the climate strike in Edinburgh last Friday.
Cerys Gough and Hayley Mack feel passionately about the worldwide movement to make the leaders of nations around the planet sit up and take notice of their calls to take action to halt climate change to save people from more unpredictable weather events.
The teenagers are inspired by the movement’s founder Greta Thunberg.
The climate strikes, held all over the UK and the world, coincided with the UN climate summit in New York.
