GRETA THUNBERGRegrowth takes time the world does not have to solve climate change
GRETA THUNBERGMy generation, and those coming after, are the future. We deserve to be fought for. We deserve climate justice, social justice and equity.
GRETA THUNBERGAnd in a world where everyone strives to act, think and look the same – being different is truly something to be proud of. that’s why I’m very proud to be austistic.
GRETA THUNBERGRight here, Right now is where we draw the time, the world is not waking up, and change is coming, whether you like it or not.
GRETA THUNBERGThat we live in a post-truth society today, and that we don’t care, that we have lost empathy. We have stopped caring for each other in a way. We have stopped thinking long-term and sustainable. And that’s something that goes much deeper than just climate crisis deniers.
GRETA THUNBERGThere are no climate leaders. The only ones who can change this are you and me. All of us, together.
GRETA THUNBERGYou say that you love your children above everything else. And yet you are stealing their future.
GRETA THUNBERGPeople keep doing what they do because the vast majority doesn’t have a clue about the consequences of our everyday life. And they don’t know the rapid changes required.

GRETA THUNBERGWe live in a strange world, where we think we can buy or build our way out of a crisis that has been created by buying and building things. Where a football game or a film gala gets more media attention than the biggest crisis humanity has ever faced.
