Climate is changing: Greta’s shout of protest !!!

Dear readers, surely you are realizing that our world is changing, but this problem is undervalued. Nowadays a lot of people are uncaring about situations that concern our planet and they are more concentrated on themselves because they consider them bigger than our environment. Luckily, we have got also people like Greta Thunberg that are interested in what is happening around us. She took this issue to heart and she activated herself physically spreading a strong message to humanity.

Who is Greta ?

Many have wondered about her when they saw the young girl protesting in front of the most important men on Earth, speaking in Davos (Switzerland on the 24th of January 2019) and demonstrating how important the issue of respect for the environment is. She is a Swedish strong and determined political activist seeking to stop global warming and climate change.

What did Greta do?

Every day Greta Thunberg went to the Swedish government building, remaining in plain view during school hours with the sign that the school was on strike for the climate. The girl had taken the decision after a very hot summer for her country which had led to frequent fires and problems. After the elections were held, she decided not to put aside her commitment and to continue to demonstrate, appearing every Friday in front of the Parliament.
