Swedish born, Greta Thunberg, started protesting for climate change at age 15. Thunberg who is now 16-years old, has stunned the world with her climate change protests. She has now earned author of the year by Waterstones.
No One Is Too Small To Make A Difference, is a collection of speeches that Thunberg has delivered in the last couple of years about climate change all compiled into one book.
Editor’s Picks:
- London Bridge shut down “after gunfire”
- The Brothers of Grime
- How historically accurate is The Crown?
She has taken a year out from school, and has spent the last year travelling the world speaking to world leaders.
Although protesting for climate change may seem like a positive act, it does come with its fair share of backlash;
What’s a “denialist”, doc, and why are you tweeting a schoolgirl activist at me? Am I supposed to be alarmed, informed or catalysed to change my lifestyle by that little clip?

US President Donald Trump, also appeared to mock her by saying: “seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future.”
Currently Thunberg is in the Atlantic Ocean on her way to the global climate conference in Spain.
