In May of 2018, Greta Thunberg won a climate-change essay contest competition in the Swedish publication Svenska Dagbladet, which was the launch point for this tireless activist's rise to worldwide acclaim. Following the hottest summer recorded in Greta's home country, Sweden, she began protesting (School strike for climate) in front of Swedish parliament to draw attention to the climate crisis. Though she began alone, she quickly rose to fame and inspired young activists world wide.

I am doing this because nobody else is doing anything. It is my moral responsibility to do what I can. I want the politicians to prioritise the climate question, focus on the climate and treat it like a crisis.
Around the year 2030, 10 years 252 days and 10 hours away from now, we will be in a position where we set off an irreversible chain reaction beyond human control, that will most likely lead to the end of our civilisation as we know it.
