We are endangering our planet just to serve a very small number of people. Their luxuries life got us into a mess and has the potential to fully destroy our environment. Greta Thunberg said at a climate conference in Poland that “Our biosphere is being sacrificed so that rich people in countries like mine can live in luxury.”
The 15 year old climate activist from Sweden wants change. The change is necessary and it’s still not too late. We are in a crisis and it’s finally the time to admit that, because you cannot solve a problem without treating it like one. She blames our parents and grandparents for putting such a burden on us.
The leaders will not change our situation, we are. They are not admitting what they did but that doesn’t matter. We gain nothing from blaming people who seem to not even care. She explains, that “we have not come here to beg world leaders to care. You have ignored us in the past and you will ignore us again.”
By taking actions, change will happen. The hope is there, but we have to use it. United, we are strong enough to make the necessary change because “the real power belongs to the people” she says.
