Who is she ?
A super power girl & environmental activist named " Greta Thunberg " born on "3 January 2003". she was the one about whom we read about till now Greta Thunberg is a great super powerful girl fighting for her rights since her childhood.
As she belongs to Sweden ( Stockholm) in North Europe resulted to climate crisis has shifted from a cold-temperature climate to a warm temperature climate with snowy winters.
When Greta was eight year old she watched a documentary in school on something called
“climate change.” She and her classmates were terrified. But, when the documentary was over, her
fellow students seemed to move on, and their worries shifted back to less existential concerns. For
Greta, it was not so simple. This knowledge changed her entire life. Once Greta understood the
climate crisis, she could not “un-understand it.”
Greta began researching the climate crisis, reading everything she could over the next few years.
“I remember thinking that it was very strange. That humans who are an animal species among
others could really be changing the earth’s climate. Because if we were, and if it was really
happening, we wouldn’t be talking about anything else. As soon as you’d turn on the TV,
everything would be about that.”
Greta worries what the future will look like – “it is not just the weather. [The climate emergency]
means also, lack of food and lack of water . . . places that are unlivable and refugees because of it.
It is scary.”
In August 2018, when she was 15, Thunberg took time off school to demonstrate outside the Swedish parliament, holding up a sign calling for stronger climate action. Soon, other students engaged in similar protests in their own communities. Together they organized a school climate strike movement under the name Fridays for Future. After Thunberg addressed the 2018 United Nations Climate Change Conference, student strikes took place every week somewhere in the world. In 2019, there were at least two coordinated multi-city protests involving over one million pupils each. '
Greta got very big supportive background after her protests being popular all the celebrities and political leaders are appreciating her for her efforts, fights .
"What we do or don’t do right now will affect my entire life and the lives of my children or
grandchildren. What we do or don’t do right now my generation can’t undo in the future"
