Howey Ou, 欧泓奕 is a 17 year old climate activist. She is also the bravest person I have ever met. Every Friday, as part of FFF (Fridays for future), she participates in youth climate activism, heading to streets of China to advocate for Climate Change. As well as this, she organises a host of other climate-related events. In this short documentary, we explore some of them and dive into why she is so determined to make a change in society. 25th September is our global climate strike day of action.
