I hadn't heard about this ... THANKS for the link! 
during the late '60s and early '70s, I remember that previous student-lead effort that we little ones were exposed to that included this -

...it's obvious we're not going to do anything serious about global warming...we've failed future generations on so many levels...
...ignore the old and disbelieving for they will never change...may God give you the strength and the help you need to save the planet...
...'school strike' on like your life depended upon it...
...it does...
