Finlay Pringle

Finlay Pringle is a 12 year old climate and shark activist from Ullapool, Scotland.
School Strike
Pringle started striking for the climate on the 14th of December 2018 with his sister, Ella Pringle, and their friend, Megan Ross. They usually strike outside Ullapool Primary School or the clock tower in Ullapool every Friday morning from 08.30am for an hour.
Bear Grylls
Pringle notably told Bear Grylls that he "sucks" and that he is the "worst chief Scout" via social media when he opened a centre in Birmingham, England in which visitors can dive alongside sharks. He told the BBC Radio Scotland's Mornings with Kaye Adams programme that the reason he did this because was because he doesn't "think it is right to put sharks in tanks and make money from it." He also said this about Bear Grylls: "As chief scout I thought it set a very bad example to children on how we should treat animals." His actions won praise from Chris Packham, who commented, "Finlay has become a hero of mine for fighting a good fight for the environment."
