SHE THE PROTECTOR
Greta Thunberg
Greta Tintin Eleonora Ernman Thunberg is an environmental activist hailing from Sweden. At the age of only 15, when children can barely handle their school and play life, Greta has come into popularity for fearlessly challenging the world leaders to take immediate actions for climate change mitigation.
She started her activism in her own house where she persuaded her parents to adopt a lifestyle wherein they could reduce their carbon footprint. On August 2O18 she started skipping her classes and spent her days outside Swedish Parliament calling out for a stronger action on climate change using signboards with Skolstrejk för klimatet {School strike for Climate} written on it. She initially caught the public’s eye for her youth and her straightforward and blunt-speaking manner in criticizing the world leaders for their failure to take the actions which according to her are sufficient to address the climate crisis.
She has several protests and speeches under her belt ranging from her own country to various others, raising awareness and shaking the world leaders of every country in their seats.
Greta has inspired several of her school-aged peers in what is referred to as “The Greta Effect”. In response to her outspoken stance, many politicians have also acknowledged the necessity to direct their focus on climatic conditions and climate change.
Hence she isn’t only an inspiration for the children but also the adults all across the world. She is a powerful woman indeed, proving to the world what a woman can do even at the most tender age.
