A story that changed the world
The story of Greta, the Swedish girl who started his solitary protest in front of the Swedish Parliament one Friday in August 2018 when she was only 15 years old, she is now well known also for the impact that silent protest had in the world, conquering millions of boys who have since taken to the streets to ask to save the world that will be left to them.
In a few months, thousands of boys and girls everywhere imitated her, giving birth to Fridays for Future a global movement of young activists against climate change.
“When I started going on strike in 2018 – Greta always said – I never thought that all this would happen» or millions of young people who invaded the streets of over 180 countries around the world the following year.
Greta Thunberg is growing up
But Greta is growing and she also demonstrated it in November when did not go to Cop27 because it was “time to pass the baton to others”without obviously abandoning his battles which on the contrary «have just begun» he was keen to clarify.
Basically, the girl who accused the powerful of the world of only doing “blah, blah, blah” with respect to climate change he does not withdraw, but will continue his fight in different ways.
New forms of protest, but the struggle continues
And it has already begun: last February, in fact, he participated in the protest of the European environmental movements against the Lützerath mine. Then with Vanessa Nakate, Luisa Neubauer and Helena Gualinga she pitched a campaign against the oil and gas industries culminating in the delivery to some CEOs of powerful companies of a letter signed by almost a million people to say stop to coal.
Not to worry, so: farewell to the Friday strike is just a mandatory stepbut it is certainly not the end of the protests of the now adult Greta against those who do not care about the planet and are doing nothing to save it
