With teenage activists like Greta Thunberg succeeding where others haven't, Lara Rae and Sophie Buddle question if teens make the most impact in activism.

Lara Rae fights for her cause arguing kids are picking up the slack and leading us into a better future!

It's our mess they inherited that they have to clean up. 'Hey Auntie Lara, what did you leave me in your will?' Well. I left all your water to Nestle!- Lara Rae

But Sophie Buddle petitions that when it comes to enacting change, leave it to the adults.

Adult activists are way better. Ghandi did a hunger strike! If teens did that the entire McNugget industry would crash!- Sophie Buddle
