No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference by Greta Thunberg
3.0
No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference by Greta Thunberg is collection of some of her speeches.
The speeches cover how she started the school strike for climate and how Fridays for Future started and most importantly why its imperative that we pay attention to the acute crisis of climate change.
The climate crisis, in her words, is both the easiest and the hardest issue to solve. It's easy because we know what exactly we need to do in order to overcome this crisis and protect our Earth. But it's extremely difficult because our entire world's economy depends on burning fossil fuels, which is exactly what lead to the crisis in the first place. However, she says that it's not impossible and eventhough we do not have a lot of time, we can still act.
She criticizes the politics and the companies responsible for this ordeal and responds to criticisms that she personally recieved as a result of her activism. Greta also discusses the needs to be met within 2030 in terms of carbon emissions in order to prevent a chain reaction beyond our control, which could ruin our civilization.
This book is a very short and essential read but at the same time, it can seem very repetitive. I love Greta and the cause she works so ardently for but the book could have been put together in a better way. Nevertheless, she speaks passionately and the more she mentions the crisis at hand, the more we feel driven to do something.
We must do whatever we can in order to bring more attention and find solutions. In her words, "To do your best is no longer good enough. We must all do the seemingly impossible."
School strikes for climate across the world has raised awareness and joined students as well as adults from different wakes of life to fight for our future.
