Inspired by Swedish student Greta Thunberg, Castlemaine's Milou Albrecht gathered some friends and made the idea of students striking for climate action a reality Australia.

Milou,who has talked via Skype with Greta, has been working with the Australian Youth Climate Coalition and can be seen smiling on the homepage of the schoolstrike4climateaction.

She has taken the message for climate action to local members of parliament, local councilors and the leader of the opposition, Bill Shorten.
