GRETA
THUNBERG
Last week we saw a TED talk that Greta
Thunberg, a 16-year-old activist, made about climate change and how we have to
solve it as soon as possible.
She said that our planet is getting worse
and worse and nobody is doing anything to change. Since adults are not taking
any risks, our generation is.
My opinion about this conference is quite
mixed. I do agree with what she says, it is really good that younger people are
making actions and trying to change our planet.
I like the fact that nowadays youth is more conscious about this
situation and are willing to do anything to deal with it.
And not only teenagers, in fact, a lot of
adults are making actions right now, and that is one of the things that Greta
says that I don’t agree. I do think that older people, not a lot (that’s what
we have to change) are creating NGOs, associations and are collecting money to
plant more trees, cleaning our seas to make the Earth a great place.
Another thing that I would like to talk
about is the fact that, right now, Greta has so much power over a lot of people
that I think that she could do so much more that just conferences and TED
talks. She’s saying that we all have to do something about our planet and I
agree with her, actions are better than words. She has to put that into
practice and start getting involved with more associations, movements or just
do little things for the Earth that, at the end of the day it will help a lot,
instead of talking about the same topic over and over again.
Greta is very intelligent with what she is
doing and I really think that if the made more actions for our planet, she
would have a much bigger impact on people and be cooler than she already is.
