00:02 All right, so basically this is just talking about environmental protests and what you think of them and examples and whatnot.

00:13 So overall, that's what you need to do.

00:18 You need civil disobedience.

00:19 You need protests in order to make the government and those in charge do anything.

00:24 So two specific examples.

00:26 I'll do one older one and one recent one that are related in a way.

00:30 The first one is from 1970.

00:39 This was the first earth day.

00:46 This was organized by a senator, i believe.

00:52 And it basically, i think it was around 20 million people participated.

00:58 So it's a pretty big number.

01:00 It was all over the country.

01:04 And it was pretty much a protest calling for more action to help climate change.

01:11 It contributed to the epa, the environmental protection agency.

01:18 It was sort of like an anti -war style protest, a sit -in, and teach in, that time of stuff, to educate people and bring awareness to it.

01:26 And it also led to the formation of earth day, which we celebrate all the time.

01:31 Pretty significant protest and then the second one or more recent one it was this year actually um so 2022 on earth day as well um this one's a little more uh extreme so we're going to show two styles of protest here um a man i forget the name of who he was um set himself on fire um on the front of the supreme court steps and and one thing that i think is interesting about this story is it didn't get a lot of attention.

02:13 As i'm saying this, some people might not have heard about this...
