Climate Hero: Leah Namugerwa, Fridays for Future Uganda

Climate change has us like, oh
What’s it want from us
And we can try and ignore what’s going on, but the price is too high
Baby it has us like, oh
It wants us to fall apart
But if we work together then we can stop it all

Baby it has us like ah, woo, ah
But let’s not stop trying
Don’t quit trying
Just keep trying

And there are climate heroes across the world
Trying to save the earth
And Leah, from Uganda, is a climate hero
She is saving the Earth

Leah Namugerwa
She planted 200 trees for her 15th birthday
She is saving the earth
And we will remember her name
No matter what we do, we’re inspired by her
We all must keep trying
We must save the earth

Let’s keep trying
Let’s keep signing
All we need to do is keep protesting

Got me like ah-ah-ah-ow
I’m tired of seeing plastic in the ocean
Leah started a petition to ban plastic bags in Uganda
Uganda
She’s organized marches and created the Birthday Trees project
It gives people seeds to plant on their birthday
Their birthday
What a special thing
And she’s trying to find ways to resolve the droughts and landslides in Uganda
We thank people all over the world
Trying to save the earth
And I am so grateful to have these role models
We will save the Earth

Reflection
Reflection

My work and creative process were inspired by the musician, H.E.R.. I've listened to her music for about five years now, and I really enjoy watching videos related to her creative process. I like how she approaches each song she makes differently, and how she uses her music to spread important messages and highlight people who are making an impact in the world today. Leah Namugerwa makes me feel positive about the future. She reminds me that there are people in the world who really care about our current situation and want to protect our future. She frequently speaks at climate change events, and she shows me how important it is to use your voice. She isn't afraid to stand up for what she believes in, and she inspires me to contact my government officials to try to create change.
