No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference by Greta Thunberg
5.0
More than five stars.
As a young person, who will have to live with the world that is left to my generation, this book highlights the issue that will be our demise; climate change.
This week I have heard about many issues, some of them that I had never heard of or had delved too deeply into-
-North Korea
-the Russia/Ukrainian war that may break out very soon.
-Domestic Abuse
-Gender Equality
-And much more.
If this didn’t make me scared for my future, than reading this book surely did.
I am panicking- exactly what Greta Thunberg wants us to do-
“Adults keep saying: We owe it to the
young people to give them hope.
But I don't want your hope.
I don't want you to be hopeful.
I want you to panic.
I want you to feel the fear I feel every day.
And then I want you to act.
I want you to act as you would in a crisis.
I want you to act as if our house is on fire.
Because it is.”
This is a quote in this book.
And I am panicking. I do not know if you all are. But I know that I am. Because, just as Greta is making clear here, we do not have much hope.
Greta explains that many people do not think that this is a crisis, or that it is a crisis that will just go away. But it will not.
This book is eye opening. I implore everyone to read this book, to pay more attention to the crisis, to fear what is to come, to make a change.
I wish that schools ad universities around the world would make their students read this book.
Read. This. Book.
