1. This young woman

is a fire breathing powerhouse. Stand back.

[Falcata]

3. Talks a lot

so what is her plan?

[MontanaMama]

5. Seriously?

Have you heard her at all?

[Falcata]

7. Well yes I have

I've never heard an actual plan. We're supposed to ground all planes, start riding bicycles what...?

[MontanaMama]

8. Yep. Ground all planes and

get your ass on a bike...

Enjoy your stay.

10. Thanks for the little snark

[lunatica]

11. She probably thinks the world would be a better place

if people got off their asses and did something rather than demand someone else do it.

Surely you can come of with an idea or two yourself.

17. Have you

listened to her?

[Disaffected]

6. I dunno,

maybe to get politicians off their asses and do something meaningful before it's too late.

I swear, a great many of these kids seem to have more maturity and sense than the majority of adults.

[Takket]

13. she doesn't have a plan........

the entire point of her movement is that politicians need to listen to scientists, and if they won't, the people need to get rid of the politicians

SNIP
In August 2018, at 15 years of age, 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.[1][2]

Thunberg is known for her blunt,[3] matter-of-fact speaking manner,[4] both in public and to political leaders and assemblies, in which she urges immediate action to address what she describes as the "climate crisis". At home, Thunberg persuaded her parents to adopt several lifestyle choices to reduce their own carbon footprint, including giving up air travel and not eating meat.

21. She doesn't have to have a plan

She doesn't have to have a plan. She is a kid. Her plan is to get the people taht should have been planning this shit for the last 3 decades to start getting a plan in order.


Unreal.






Seriously. Sometimes I read posts and my jaw hits the floor.

2. Maybe I am over the top but I think she deserves consideration

for a Nobel peace Prize.
Climate change may be the biggest source of conflict in the coming years. Let us hope she lit the fire that will youth it around.

[live love laugh]

22. I agree ❤️ Her. nt

[bdamomma]

4. Young people

who are fighting for change we can learn a lot from them.

[lunatica]

12. She was instrumental in today's massive world marches

I have hope for the future now. Today’s youth and young adults are mobilizing. Let’s either help them or get the hell out of the way.

16. Remarkable young woman.

[DemocracyMouse]

19. I suggest we all ignite our children and grandchildren by

framing that picture of Greta Thunberg and giving them each a copy for Christmas, Channakah, Winter Solstice, etc.
