Obama praises youth climate activists: 'The sooner you start, the better
Former President Obama during a visit to Germany on Saturday praised youth activists who have led protests around the world to demand action on climate change, saying that the sooner activism starts the better.
"A lot of those people can’t vote," Obama said during a meeting in Berlin, according to AFP. "They’re too young to vote. But they know what’s going on."
"They’re making change," Obama continued. "And those habits, and that sense of power they’re developing now, that’s going to carry over for the rest of their lives."
Obama, who was in Germany to promote his foundation, later said "the sooner you start, the better" when discussing their advocacy.
