GRETA THUNBERG
'You can't just sit around'The global strike is inspired by 16-year-old climate activist, Greta Thunberg, who went viral for sitting in front of the Swedish parliament every school day for three weeks, to protest against the lack of action on the climate crisis.
Thunberg, who said at an EU conference: "You can't just sit around waiting for hope to come," pushed for people to strike in front of their closest town hall, every Friday. |
