Greta Thunberg - No One Is Too Small To Make A Difference


We are at a crossroads, there is no doubt about it. The climate activism of youth is interesting because childhood, as we know it, is a relatively new phenomenon. In the past children were coerced into getting jobs and doing work at a young age, whereas today's society protects children as vulnerable, but they are not as gullible as they seem, in fact, Thunberg has genuinely removed the veil from children all over the world's eyes to awaken them from their slumber and show them the carnage of their future. Climate change is a social and rights issue as not only being environmental. The older generations have had their fun and games and are leaving the world in chaos for the younger ones to clean up. Once things like the Himalayas start to melt, things will look very different. If there was anything to scare people into mass unity, extinction would surely shock people into coming together as one entity.
