The name Greta Thunberg must ring some bells and if it does not then you need to read this article
Greta Thunberg is a young girl from Sweden and one of the youngest ever to speak in the UN at the tender age of 16.
After inspiring global climate strikes and chiding United Nations members over their inaction on climate change, activist Greta Thunberg has successfully conjured a new sense of urgency over climate change, especially among young people across the globe. Still, it remains unclear whether the activism she’s inspired will actually change climate policies.
Through her speeches it is clear that she is extremely passionate and determined to convey her message. Its her mission to make people understand the threat that we will be facing in the near future.The bitter truth is that more than half of the world’s population is woefully unaware of our planet’s current situation.More than 50% of the population believes that GLOBAL WARMING is nothing but myth. If we do nothing to improve its situation in the next 8-10 years we’ll all be nearing our demise.
As Greta rightfully said “This is all wrong. I shouldn’t be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet you all come to us young people for hope. How dare you!”
She is right, she shouldn’t be up there. She shouldn’t have to worry about her future and should be happy and carefree and heading for school.The next generation and the generations after them to come shouldn’t need to bear the consequences of our mistakes. It’s time we understand this and start making changes in our lifestyle so that the next generation can go to sleep at night without worrying if they will wake up tomorrow in a habitual environment with basic amenities.
A wise person once said “SOLVE SMALL DENT BIG.” We must start taking small steps in hopes to solve these big problems. If every person makes it their responsibility to improve the state of the environment only then will there be some hope in the future.
