No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference

Throughout the book or the speeches, Greta insists to be treated like an adult, but most of her speeches begin by saying “I am Greta Thunberg and I am sixteen years old�. Why? Does her age carry any significance? I will value what she has said and criticize it.
First, the hypocrisy is nothing short of mind-boggling. She says, “Even the most green politicians and climate scientists go on flying around that world and eating meat and dairy.� What is she doing? She flies around the world. She is promoting the book of her speeches. Millions of copies of it will be printed on paper, thanks to the death of millions of trees. I mean come on. Stand on principle or do not lecture the world.
Is the book helping the environment? Creating awareness among people or politicians? Suggesting anything new for individuals to do to help the environment? Or does it contain any suggestions on how to educate people? No.
All the speeches are entitled ramblings. No one asked her to leave school to protest. “How dare you?� to impose this kind of hardship on her, she asks. Give me a break. It is her choice and she should own it.
It is not her fault. The hashtag viral culture just catapulted her to fame, even nominating for the Nobel prize. For what? Nothing. It is like a cat distracted by a laser. Her popularity just goes to show “we ran out of things on earth to do�. There are millions of people who are personally, politically, and globally doing things to help the environment, but they don’t get any attention. The things that they do actually work and they do not seek attention.
Climate change is real and she is a terrible messenger.

I haven't read it, but when I saw it wasn't just an ebook, I laughed. Way to save the environment by making money off killing trees. LOL

Her paper book copies are a mere drop in the ocean (even less than!!), compared with the main waste of natural resources. Pretty sure she doesn’t fly around the world either�.The book certainly helped me feel more aware and motivated towards the dismal climate clause. Not sure if it was ever intended to educate people with this book, it’s just a collection of her speeches that someone put together. I would say she is an excellent messenger!
