Hi, my name is Greta Thunberg. I am an 18-year-old Swedish environmental activist challenging world leaders to take immediate action for climate change mitigation.
When I first learned about climate change at school, I wasn't just shocked to hear that our planet is destructing from human activities, but also shocked that no one is standing up for this issue, That is why I started with what I can do, which was to become vegan, stop flying, have a shop stop, and communicate what is happening, putting pressure on people in power.
When I was 15, I skipped school on Fridays to protest outside parliament for more action against climate change. I should have been in school, spending time studying. Yet, I had to protest, in the sake of our future.
We are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction. Our leaders need to start acting accordingly. We will not let you get away with this, this is where we draw the line to prevent climate change.
I was really surprised when I saw Greta Thunberg on TV. Of course I also learned about climate change at school but I didn’t think so seriously like her. But it was true that many countries changed their action by the effect of her protesting. So I think raising voice is very important. However, it is also true that not every people act like her. So, I think it is important to act for world climate from a small step like recycling plastic bottles or don’t use gasoline car. Also, comparing to other countries, Japan less contributes to the solve climate problem. So I think we have to consider measurements for that.
